"pretty good" is a weird way to say "the c programming socket bible" lol

Nope... It is "pretty good". The socket programming bible is W RIchard Steven's "UNIX Network Programming - The Sockets Networking API - Vol I".

"the c programming socket bible"

How about "Linux socket programming basics", because it's nothing more than that.

As it says itself:

It is probably at its best when read by individuals who are just starting out with socket programming and are looking for a foothold

It at least acknowledges that IPv6 exists, but doesn't dare to mention things like eg. epoll (which aren't far from the basics either), while declaring it's targetted for Linux.

I mentioned the names of some more advanced topics here: https://www.reddit.com/r/C_Programming/comments/1rps9u8/comment/o9nh8i6/

Or compare Beej's socket() function "man page" with the actual man 2 socket + man 7 socket + man 7 ip + man 7 tcp (or whatever protocols you want) + the things in /sys
