I don't know whether or not there's an RFC, but the book "UNIX Network
Programming" by W. Richard Stevens (Prentice Hall, 1990) has a chapter
covering this protocol.  Includes source code for the client side of
the protocol.

By the way -- I found this book to have one of the best descriptions of
the UNIX inter-process communication and BSD sockets. (Also covers TLI, but
I'm not qualified to comment on that chapter.)  Highly recommended.
