Inferno Programming with Limbo is the first complete developer's guide to programming for the Inferno operating system. Developed at Lucent's Bell Labs, Inferno enables cross-platform, portable, distributed application development that is well suited for networked applications on resource constrained, embedded systems. Limbo is its programming language. This book will provide you with an introduction to Inferno, and everything you need to know about building applications with Limbo. The book focuses on the pragmatic aspects of developing Inferno applications with the Limbo language. It includes complete source code for several application examples, ranging from a text editor, file servers and network servers, to graphical applications such as games. Common programming pitfalls are revealed and in-depth analysis of complete sample applications are given. Also covered in the text are sections on: 160;183; accessing Inferno system facilities from Limbo programs 160;183; building multi-threaded applications with Limbo 160;183; implementing user level file servers in Limbo 160;183; networking in Inferno and constructing networked applications in Limbo 160;183; graphical applications in Inferno 160;183; augmenting Limbo applications with modules written in the C programming language 160;183; cryptographic facilities provided by Inferno 160;183; tools for verification of concurrent multi-threaded programs, such as model checkers 160;183; relevant manual pages and Limbo module definitions
