System Calls: How Your Code Talks to the Kernel
Every time a program reads a file, opens a socket, or allocates memory, it makes a system call. Here is what that means, how it works at the hardware level, and how to see it happening in real time.
Complete explanations of how things work — from first principles to full understanding. How systems are built, how they break, and how to do things properly.
