- Try getting a book on networking n Unix, try reading the man pages on the
- socket call.
-
- Actually, read the man pages first. You will see that it says that a socket is
- an "end point for communications".
-
- A good book on Unix networking is "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Douglas E.
- Comer. It comes in 2 volumes but should help you out quite a bit.
