The Linux Programmers Toolbox - Prentice Hall

Kernighan and Ritchie show readers how to program the standard C libraries. Stevens covers the network programming interfaces in UNIX. But neither covers the tools developers need to master to be productive in Linux: compilers, debuggers, source code control, packaging etc…This book is the professional developer's guide to these tools. Linux as a software development platform is rich in tools - hundreds of tools, with new ones being developed all the time. Experienced C and C++ developers moving to Linux for the first time need to understand which tools are the best, and how to use them. This book is their guide. The book begins with a discussion of how to install, patch, and manage software development tools on a linux system. It then proceeds to cover editors, source code control tools, code beautifiers, IDEs, and revision control tools. The next two sections deal with configuring a build environment and working with documentation tools including texinfo, docbook, modinfo, and others. The book ends with a chapter on popular debugging tools and techniques, and another on the powerful but often bewildering performance tools available on Linux systems. The book is in the Arnold Robbins Linux Programming by Example Series. As is true of all books in this series, the book will use real program code from working programs to illustrate all key concepts.
