You’ll learn fundamental concepts such as memory management and thread synchronization, as well as the I\/O Kit framework. You’ll also learn how to write your own kernel-level extensions, such as device drivers for USB and Thunderbolt devices, including networking, storage and audio drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOS X and iOS Kernel Programming\u003c\/em\u003e provides an incisive and complete introduction to the XNU kernel, which runs iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Mac OS X servers and clients. Then, you’ll expand your horizons to examine Mac OS X and iOS system architecture. Understanding Apple’s operating systems will allow you to write efficient device drivers, such as those covered in the book, using I\/O Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  With \u003cem\u003eOS X and iOS Kernel Programming\u003c\/em\u003e, you’ll:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDiscover classical kernel architecture topics such as memory management and thread synchronization \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBecome well-versed in the intricacies of the kernel development process by applying kernel debugging and profiling tools \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLearn how to deploy your kernel-level projects and how to successfully package them \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWrite code that interacts with hardware devices \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExamine easy to understand example code that can also be used in your own projects \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCreate network filters \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a hobbyist, student, or professional engineer, turn to OS X andiOS Kernel Programming and find the knowledge you need to start developing\u003c\/p\u003e  What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOS X and iOS common core architecture \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to write extremely efficient code by exploiting kernel details \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCoding kernel-level extensions \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to write device drivers \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to program the I\/O Kit framework \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eKey mobile device topics like power management drivers and video capture modules \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTo understand OS X memory management and threads \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTo parse kernel debug messages and package projects ready for deployment \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is suited for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntermediate and advanced iPhone and OS X programmers ready for the next step \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eKernel-level programmers interested in how OS X and iOS function \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOpen source programmers with a background in Linux or BSD, OS X and iOS \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProgrammers interested in application performance \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSystem administrators running OS X clusters \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e             Table of Contents\u003col\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOperating System Fundamentals   \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMac OS X and iOS \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eXcode and the Kernel Development Environment \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe I\/O Kit Framework \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInteracting with Drivers from Applications \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eMemory Management \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSynchronisation and Threading \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUSB Drivers \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePCI and Thunderbolt \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePower Management \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSerial Port Drivers \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCore Audio \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNetwork Drivers \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eStorage Drivers and Filesystems \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUser-Space Drivers \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDebugging and Profiling  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAdvanced Kernel Programming \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDeployment \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178296983792,"sku":"9781430235378","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430235378_p0.jpg?v=1763749761","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430235378","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
