I don't know if you will find what you want online.

You might look at a couple of books:

   Beginning Linux Programming (3e) by Richard Stones and Neil Matthew 
(1999: Wrox Press) ISBN 1-861002-97-1

More info at http://www.wrox.com/books/0764544977.shtml, and it is 
available from Amazon.com at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/479559/ref%3Db%5Fsnpbg%5Fwrox/103-7400452-7270240

and

   Professional Linux Programming by Richard Stones and Neil Matthew 
(2000: Wrox Press) ISBN 1-861003-01-3

I don't think it is in print any more, but Amazon lists it available as 
used at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/1861003013/002-6015042-3848814

On both of these, you can use the "Look Inside" feature to browse the 
TOC to see if they will fit your needs.
