UNIX Network Programming

The Sockets Networking API (Volume 1 of UNIX® Network Programming) by W. Richard Stevens, Bill Fenner, and Andrew M. Rudoff is a definitive, in-depth guide to building networked applications on UNIX. It covers everything from the basics of TCP/IP, socket creation, binding, listening, and connecting, to advanced topics like multiplexing (select, poll), nonblocking I/O, raw sockets, IPv6 interoperability, SCTP, and daemon design. Updated to reflect modern systems and standards, this edition equips developers to design robust, efficient, cross-platform network software using the UNIX socket API.
