SocketCAN documentation is avaible within Linux kernel documentation online on https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt or in linux-doc packages. Upstream site is hosted on gitorious: https://gitorious.org/linux-can Mailing list: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-can There are some (outdated) documentation for can-tools on old project site: http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/tags/final/doc/ Most actual documentation could be obtained from utilities themselves with --help option.
