The standard Unix documentation is the best place to start (see
/usr/share/doc on BSD systems).  These are the two classic
papers which you can get from the FreeBSD web site (and all the
other BSD sites as well):

 1. How to write programs that use the Interprocess
    Communication Facilities of 4.4BSD[1]

    http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/psd/20.ipctut/paper.html

 2. The reference document (with some examples) for the
    Interprocess Communication Facilities of 4.4BSD[2]

    http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/psd/21.ipc/paper.html

The classic book is:

    Unix Network Programming
    W. Richard Stevens
    Prentice Hall, 1990

All the above is well worth reading and careful study.

Cheers, Greg
