Books Regarding Linux Kernel

[Aruna Hewapathirane]

Hi Anil,

The book 'Linux Programming Interface' by Michael Kerrisk who is the Linux
man-pages maintainer is full of useful examples and the breadth and depth
of its coverage is remarkable.

When it comes to networking there is a book 'Linux Kernel Networking:
Implementation and Theory' by Rami Rosen that is comprehensive and through.

It helps immensely once you understand the 'subsystems' first. This will
help: http://kernelnewbies.org/Documentation/Subsystems

That being said if you truly want to 'understand' the kernel the best way
is to start building your own and the best documentation I have found is
the source itself :)

Good luck !

Aruna
