And an excellent source of information is the series of reference books by
the late Richard Stevens and published by Addison Wesley, especially
"Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment"
"Unix Network Programming (vol 1): The Sockets Networking API"
"Unix Network Programming (vol 2): Interprocess Communications"

They're not cheap, but they're a really good investment.

Brian.
