Unix Distributed Programming

by Chris Brown

Taking a broad view of distributed programming within a UNIX enivronment, this guide explains, compares, and contrasts the underlying support offered by UNIX for manipulating processes for inter-process communication. It covers a wide range of issues--from simple pipes to traditional client/server network applications to the exploitation of true concurrency and parallelism.
