Why do C or C++ books not contain anything on networking?
I've just been looking at the following books:
-K&R C
-The Complete Reference C++
-The Complete Reference C
-Deitel How to Program C
-Deitel How to Program C++

and not one of them contains any networking, how to create sockets etc. Is there any 'definitive' reference for C network programming? Google wasn't particularly helpful.

I'm probably considering windows and unix platforms
