Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment is a book by W. Richard Stevens describing much of the system call interface, libraries, and I/O mechanisms of UNIX family operation systems. The book was first published in 1992 by Addison-Wesley. A second edition completed by Stephen A. Rago published in 2005 updates the book to the then-current UNIX flavours and adds a discussion of multithreading with POSIX Threads.

The book has been widely lauded as well-written, well-crafted, and comprehensive. It received a "hearty recommendation" in a Linux Journal review[1]

OSNews describes it as "one of the best tech books ever published" in a review of the second edition.[2]
