A crowd-sourced wiki-based textbook on system programming, originally built for UIUC's CS241/CS341 course. It covers C programming, processes, forking, threads, synchronization, memory, and other operating-systems-level topics.
Use cases
- learn system programming from scratch
- study C programming for operating systems
- prepare for a systems programming course
- understand fork, exec, and processes
- learn pthreads and synchronization
- review for a systems programming interview
- learn debugging with gdb and valgrind
When to choose
- you want a free, comprehensive introduction to systems programming in C
- you are taking or teaching a university systems course
- you prefer wiki-style reference material with worked examples
When to avoid
- you need a software tool or library rather than educational material
- you need up-to-date content on modern OS features, as the wiki was mainly maintained 2014-2018
- you want a formally published or peer-reviewed textbook
