[.....but, but, EVERYONE ELSE does it!!?!!.....]
Hello. I am kind of new to UNIX and would really like to learn how to use
sockets properly. I do not have access to any source that uses them here, and
I was hoping that someone "out there" might have a few short examples that they
could send along. I have the manuals, but that's just not the same as poking
through working code. I figured I might just learn some neat tricks not
mentioned elsewhere from you people too. Any e-mail replies would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

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):

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.
