Look for "A 4.2BSD Interprocess Communication Primer" by S.J. Leffler,
R.S. Fabry, and Bill Joy.  I was looking for a long time for stuff
on sockets until I found this 23-pager buried in the "supplemental
documentation" volumes of my local Ultrix-32 document set.

It's everything you ever wanted to know about sockets, period.

Pure literary review:  it's one of the hardest things to read I've ever
read.  It ain't the material, either.  It's just a style problem.
Well, noone said computerz was e-z...
