Message-ID: <20010115112218.A30426@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning all, Ok, I know that The Bible for *BSDs is "TDaIotFOS", but STR from a glance at the 4.3 version that it is very kernel-oriented. I'd like to get started by porting a few userland apps (have my sights on cdparanoia for starters), so was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book to introduce newbies to the BSD C library - I know the manpages are more up to date, but I can't read them on the bus.. Local bookshops here in Cardiff are finally filling up with as much gcc related books as Visual C++, but they're all quite Linux focussed. (Or is there little difference from a userland point of view)?
