What am I doing here?

If you are here, I'm assuming that:

• You build, design, or otherwise interested in applications that use the Linux system call API.
  
  
• You can read C.
  
  
• You're familiar with the basics of the Linux/Unix system call API.
  
  
• You want to know about new features that have appeared in the system call API in Linux 2.6.x, x > 0
  
  
• It's not too late to sneak out and see Ian Walters doing "Introduction to GUI Programming with Qt4" in Castle 1...
  
  

I am:

• Michael Kerrisk, michael . kerrisk @ gmx . net.
  
  
• maintainer of the man-pages package: manual pages sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 (the parts used by system programmers; note: not sections 1 and 8).
