Ah. You want a free book.

A slightly different question.

Here's a fairly old resource..

Read the books but check the current man pages.

There is the ubiquitous Beej's Guide to Network Programming, which seems to be down right now, but I did find this PDF version of his very good tutorial on socket programming.
