Same here. That book and the Linux api book are just invaluable resources.

[vymague]

Which linux api book?

[friend-monoid]

The linux programming interface by Michael Kerrisk. It’s incredibly good.

How does this book compare to Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment? http://www.apuebook.com/about3e.html

I only found this: https://man7.org/tlpi/

Is there any free or low-cost version?

[no_wizard]

You may be able to get it from your local library via an app like Overdrive[0][1]. Some library programs even have a way for you to get free access to Safari Books Online[2] (I'd say most if not all, in the US at least)

My experience has been that there is rarely a backlog on technical materials like this.

That's great information, thank you!

That’s the high-value version, it’s the only legitimate one
