I am working on a learning based chess program for a senior thesis. 
I am writing code in c and operating of Sun's.
I would like to make my program use xboard as an interface.

I have the source and am currently trying to read through it, however if anyone
out there knows the code or where more detailed documentation is it would
really save me some time.

All I really need to know is how the communication protocol works.
what information does xboard provide and what information does it expect.
and how it is transmitted between programs.

Thanks in advance for any help.
