This probably isn't what you had in mind, but I would seriously
recommend you read Mike Gancarz's _The_UNIX_Philosophy_.

It doesn't cover system libs or pipes and such, but instead covers the
philosophy behind UNIX, and how to use it to your advantage.

As far as the other stuff goes, you would be amazed at the quantity
and quality of info in /usr/man/man[12].

Also, if you are running a system with the GNU libc, the info pages
for the libc library are well written, and an easier, more tutorial
style read than the man pages.

Oh, read this ng's FAQ (sorry don't know the URL).

Quote:> Man pages :)
> Really, you can use man's if you want to learn routines of UNIX

programming. Every page has references and recommendations on how to use
that of another function, system call, etc. So I also recommend man-pages.

Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment

(Don't be afraid, it's not *that* extremely advanced, IMHO.)
