Default Electrical connection for generator (in fuse box) - info, docs or links wanted

You need to get an interlocking device that would only allow the generator
feed or the utility company feed, but not both at the same time , power the
panel. I know Square D makes them, but I'm not sure about other companies

Anyone know of any good guides showing how to hook up a fuse box to accept
a
generator? I want to hook up a 4-wire, 220v 30A connection straight into
the box to power the whole home (obviously not everything in it, just what
I
choose to turn on).

There should be some websites or documents out there which show what to
do.
I know much of what needs to be done, I just need to know the specifics.
