So let’s implement our own that does both! As we’ll see, it’s much less straightforward, and thus more interesting, than I thought. It’s a whirlwind tour through Unix deeps. If you’re interested in systems programming, Operating Systems, multiplexed I/O, data races, weird historical APIs, and all the ways you can shoot yourself in the foot with just a few system calls, you’re in the right place!

Very good.
