Looks like
http://sunsite.net.edu.cn/tutorials/NetworkingGuide/BOOKCHAPTER-7.html has some
info, though a fairly superficial description.  There is a pretty good narrative
description of what each function is supposed to expect in in the Sun man pages:

ab_40_2%3A%2Fsafedir%2Fspace3%2Fcoll1%2FSUNWaman%2Ftoc%2FREFMAN3%3A1643_ypclnt.3n
;bt=man+Pages(3)%3A+Library+Routines;ps=ps%2FSUNWab_40_2%2FREFMAN3%2F1643_ypclnt.
3n

None of this may be detailed enough to be helpful, though.
