About the course

By the end of this course, you will have built an understanding of how the Linux kernel interoperates with glibc and the rest of the binary toolchain. This, in turn, will enlighten your understanding of how various software packages rely on the kernel and glibc to provide interfaces and services, as well as the "why" behind many of the features and idiosyncrasies of the kernel and glibc.
