this book, the authors offer unprecedented,start-to- finish guidance on making the most of sockets, the de facto standard for UNIX network programming.



　　The authors begin by introducing virtually every basic capability of TCP and UDP sockets, including socket functions and options, I/O multiplexing, and name and address conversions. They present detailed coverage of the Posix.1g standard for sockets and the Posix threads.
