Best C book for unix?

I'm going to be starting a pretty big project in C and I'm unfamiliar with it besides the basic syntax. The last C books I bought were C for dummies, but that didn't seem to tell me much besides syntax.





Is there a good book out there that teaches the ins %26amp; outs of C specifically on unix?





Thanks!

Best C book for unix?
Try The C programming language by Kernighan and Ritchie, 2nd edition and Expert C programming (forgot author name) and may be memory as a programming concept (haven't read this, but I hear good remarks about this in programmer circles). For Unix in particular, I have read Advanced programming in the Unix environment and Advanced Linux programming. But my present job doesn't delve deep into Unix specific things at programming level, so I am yet to look beyond these books.





Besides these, as you develop the project, you'll find things that books don't have answer for can be answered by other people who were in similar situations. At that time, join comp.unix.programmer and comp.lang.c to ask other people your questions.
