[several lines deleted about where it might be and where he looked]

Since it might have been me who made the suggestion:

TCP/IP Users Guide Version 2.1, [Document number 007-0830-021], which is
the second chapter in the  IRIS 4D Series Communications Guide [doc.
no. 007-0890-010]

Interprocess Communication, Chapter 8 of IRIS-4D Programmer's Guide
Volume 1, Version 1.1  [doc. no. 007-0601-10] 

Both of these manuals came from SGI with my first IRIS (and 3.2 I
guess.) The pile of manuals for 3.3 look to be about the same size,
and I _assume_ that they are all there, but I have not looked.

You should also look at the Streams mechanism if you are starting from
scratch, it might be appropriate to use the "modern" methods.

Hope it helps,
Dale
