This is an open-source textbook for the CS 341 System Programming course at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It targets developers with a foundation in assembly language, covering Linux kernel-level system concepts using C.

It systematically organizes core system programming topics, including processes, threads, memory allocation, file systems, networking, and IPC. The content standardizes the existing Wikibook material and adds citations and footnotes to enhance factual accuracy and academic rigor.

An automated build system based on LaTeX generates content in PDF, Markdown, and HTML formats. Contributors can focus solely on writing content without dealing with complex formatting, and the open-source license allows for free use and modification.
