An open-source introductory systems programming textbook written in LaTeX and used for CS 341 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It covers C and Linux/POSIX systems programming and is published as PDF, HTML, EPUB, and wiki formats.

Use cases

  • learn systems programming in C on Linux
  • study POSIX APIs like processes, threads, and signals
  • find a free operating systems course textbook
  • prepare for a university systems programming course
  • reference Linux system programming concepts like memory and file systems
  • contribute to or fork an open systems programming book

When to choose

  • you want a free, rigorous introduction to C systems programming on Linux
  • you are a student or instructor of an OS or systems programming course
  • you prefer textbook material with citations, glossary, and multiple export formats

When to avoid

  • you need a hands-on tool or library rather than reading material
  • you are a complete beginner without prior programming or assembly exposure
  • you need Windows or macOS systems programming content
