Scheduled Dates for GA200

This course covers system programming in C for a UNIX system which complies with POSIX. Topics covered include making system calls to perform input/output, control processes, perform interprocess communication, and program for networks. The student will learn to write Unix system calls and to use C library functions related to system features. The course includes hands-on exercises to reinforce concepts and build skills.
