<p><em>OS X and iOS Kernel Programming</em> combines essential operating system and kernel architecture knowledge with a highly practical approach that will help you write effective kernel-level code. 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.<p> <p> <em>OS X and iOS Kernel Programming</em> 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 th, using I/O Kit.<p> <p> With <em>OS X and iOS Kernel Programming</em>, you’ll:</p> <ul> <li>Discover classical kernel architecture topics such as memory management and thread synchronization </li> <li>Become well-versed in the intricacies of the kernel development process by applying kernel debugging and profiling tools </li> <li>Learn how to deploy your kernel-level projects and how to successfully package them </li> <li>Write code that interacts with hardware devices </li> <li>Examine easy to understand example code that can also be used in your own projects </li> <li>Create network filters </li> </ul> <p>Whether you’re a hobbyist, student, or professional engineer, turn to OS X andiOS Kernel Programming and find the knowledge you need to start developing</p></p></p></p></p>
