The following conventions are used in the index:

Library function and system call prototypes are indexed with a subentry label ed prototype. Normally, you’ll find the main discussion of a function or system call in the same location as the prototype.

Definitions of C structures are indexed with subentries label ed definition. This is where you’ll normally find the main discussion of a structure.

Implementations of functions developed in the text are indexed with a subentry label ed code of implementation.

Instructional or otherwise interesting examples of the use of functions, variables, signals, structures, macros, constants, and files in example programs are indexed with subentries label ed example of use. Not all instances of the use of each interface are indexed; instead, just a few examples that provide useful guidance are indexed.

Diagrams are indexed with subentries label ed diagram.

The names of example programs are indexed to make it easy to find an explanation of a program that is provided in the source code distribution for this book.

Citations referring to the publications list ed in the bibliography are indexed using the name of the first author and the year of publication, in an entry of the form Name (Year) — for example, Rochkind (1985).

Items beginning with nonalphabetic characters (e.g., /dev/stdin, _BSD_SOURCE) are sort ed before alphabetic items.
