Re: syscall reference

In other words IPC looks like a good place to begin learning the kernel.
Even if technically I am not using the kernel. And there is alot more than
pipes, there's signals and so on here but pipes are a good place to start.
Read and write are only a couple of examples of what a complete syscall
reference should give. The trouble is that the linux kernel is living. By
that I mean it's not like and old Unix v6 or 7 for a pdp. So much has
changed from 2.0 or even the 2.2 code to buy a reference might seem in the
long run fruitless. Then again it might be worth it.
