This is the code repository for Hands-On System Programming with C++, published by Packt.
**Build performant and concurrent Unix and Linux systems with C++17 **
C++ is a general-purpose programming language with a bias toward system programming as it provides ready access to hardware-level resources, efficient compilation, and a versatile approach to higher-level abstractions.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Understand the benefits of using C++ for system programming
- Program Linux/Unix systems using C++
- Discover the advantages of Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII)
- Program both console and file input and output
- Uncover the POSIX socket APIs and understand how to program them
- Explore advanced system programming topics, such as C++ allocators
- Use POSIX and C++ threads to program concurrent systems
- Grasp how C++ can be used to create performant system applications

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
int array[10];
auto r1 = array + 1;
auto r2 = *(array + 1);
auto r3 = array[1];
Following is what you need for this book: If you are a fresh developer with intermediate knowledge of C++ but little or no knowledge of Unix and Linux system programming, this book will help you learn system programming with C++ in a practical way.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-13).
