Hello and Happy New Year!

I need to write some very basic C programs under FreeBSD. I am new to 
Unix programming and not very good at C programming either, so I'm 
looking for documentation on some topics. The ones that are the most 
interesting for me now is how to write small daemons best and how to 
read ipfw info from a program. Man pages help me very much, but I really 
need some guide. The problem is that doc project doesn't seem to have 
released anything like it. I looked through dev-, arch-, porters- 
handbooks, read design-44bsd - but I didn't find what I want.

Of course I can refresh my C skills and gain some Unix-coding knowledge 
by reading a couple' thousand pages, but I don't feel like it's 
necessary for what I want to write - just a basic statistics collector.

Should I explore FreeBSD source code or is there some solid piece of 
documentation?

Best wishes,
Andrew P.
