different book, different daemon pose on front cover. ISBN 020163354X
has 15 pages on soreceive() alone.

the nfs code contains examples of kernel-level socket calls.

for studying things like this, 

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/devel/id-utils/README.html

is highly recommended.

        cd /usr/src/sys
        mkid -s         
        gid socreate
