Advanced Red Hat Systems Programming – RH250
This course introduces the participants to system level programming in the C language in a RHEL 6 environment. The course focuses on RHEL 6 system calls and library functions, how to use them, and their underlying mechanisms. The course deals with many facets of the RHEL6 operating system, including: introduction to RHEL6 kernel structure, I/O, Signals, Signal handlers, Timers, Processes, Multi-Tasking, Inter-Process Communication (IPC) Pipes, Shared memory, Message Queues, Semaphores, Networking, Sockets, using TCP/IP and UDP/IP.Throughout the course the information presented is related to the participant through: the execution of common RHEL 6 user/administrator commands, and writing, compiling, and executing example C language programs which demonstrate the use of system routines and accessing system data structures on a live RHEL 6 system.
