I'm sure one of the books I mentioned previously has good examples.
You really should read a good book if you want to learn this stuff.

In function these are the same.  In implementation they use different
data structures to communicate which and how the sockets are to be
monitored. These different data mechanisms also determine how the
output is presented and used.  See the man pages for these system calls.
