_The C Porgramming Language_, Kernighan and Ritchie
_The C++ Programming Language_, Stroustroup
AT&T sytax? Do you mean *assembler* books? Urk!
The only x86 assembler book I've ever bought is _Programming the 80386_
published by Sybex. If it's still in print, or has a 486 or Pentium
brother, it should hold up well. That and the Intel (AMD, Cyrix, etc)
databooks will cover the information.
Why would you want to program a UNIX system in assembler? Other than
tiny utility routines for device drivers?
If you want to learn about programming UNIX, I strongly recommend
_Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment_, and _UNIX Network
Programming_, both by W. Richard Stevens. Buy anything he writes, even
if its scribbled on the back of a napkin. ;^)
