4.2BSD Sockets

[King Ables]

There is a real good paper you can get from Berkeley to introduce
you to 4.2bsd sockets.  I agree, trying to read the man pages isn't
much help when you don't already know generally how things work.
This paper was a big help to me.

	"Tutorial Examples of Interprocess Communication in
	 Berkely UNIX 4.2bsd", Stuart Sechrest, Report No.
	 UCB/CSD 84/191, PROGRES Report No. 84.9, June, 1984.

and it can be obtained from UCB for a nominal charge ( <$5 as I
recall):

	Computer Science Division (EECS)
	University of California
	Berkeley, California 94720

They also have a whole list of other published papers having
to do with Unix (and many not real connected with Unix).  I
imagine they'd send you a list, too.
