Not quite true: _almost_ nothing. But I have been able to find some existing
doc. Not much, but it's better than the BSD primer.

More info on sockets can be found in:

   C Programming In The Berkeley Environment
   R. Nigel Horspool
   Prentice-Hall Canada
   ISBN 0-13-109760-1
   price for my copy was 54 Dutch guilders

This book tries to teach you C but also treats some of the BSD features.
In chapter 12, the programs and explanations are given for a computerized
bulletin-board system consisting of a client- and a server-part.

The book also mentions more literature:

   Tutorial Examples of Interprocess Communication in Berkeley 4.2BSD
   Stuart Sechrest
   Report UCB/CSD84/191
   Computer Science Division of University of California
   Berkeley 94720

Also,the following book gives some info about 4.3's interface to IP:

   Internetworking with TCP/IP
   Douglas Comer
   Prentice-Hall International
   ISBN 0-13-470188-7
   price for my copy was 80 Dutch guilders

Hope this helps.
