- The best thing to do here is NOT read the manual pages. That is, don't read
- them until you have learned about them. An excellent book to learn about
- sockets and the like is UNIX Network programming by W. Richard Stevens. He
- also has another book out called Advanced Programming in the UNIX
- Environment. Other good books include the section on socket implementation
- in the demon book, as well as Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP (Volume 3
- has extensive coverage of sockets).
-
- Sun's Answerbook also has a chapter or two on this stuff.
