The section entitled `Sockets' in the libc info file contains a
reasonable amount of detail. There is also the socket FAQ at
http://www.landfield.com/faqs/unix-faq/socket.

The book:

        Unix Network Programming
        W. Richard Stevens
        Prentice Hall, Inc.
        ISBN 0-13-949876-1

seems to be quite popular.

Also, the source code to the `sock' program, used in the book `TCP/IP
Illustrated' (also by Stevens) should provide a useful example of the
basics of socket programming. It is available from:

        ftp://ftp.uu.net/published/books/stevens.tcpipiv1.tar.Z
