The two best books that I have seen are both by W. Richard Stevens. The first book I'd suggest is "Unix Network Programming", which will give you all the details of how to use sockets. The second book, "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2, The Implementation", describes all of the actual networking code in 4.4BSD-Lite. I suspect this second book is what you really want... UNIX Network Programming is published by Prentice Hall. Rich is working on a revision of this book now. The TCP/IP Illustrated series is published by Addison-Wesley. I think that each of the two books is in the US $60 range...

Hmm, I wonder if _everything_ I say is a "non-record"...? FreeBSD and Apache - the best real tools for the virtual world! Check out www.freebsd.org and www.apache.org... Chuck - Lord of Darkness? Or Lord of Cuteness?
