<div class="section"><div class="p">The use of sockets is subject to the following restrictions: <ul><li>Socket APIs:<p>The majority of the sockets interfaces
|
||
|
|
are threadsafe, but most of the network routines are not due to the use of
|
||
|
|
static storage. These routines have been replaced with threadsafe <em>_r</em> counterparts.
|
||
|
|
For example, you should replace calls to <span class="apiname">gethostbyaddr()</span> with <span class="apiname">gethostbyaddr_r()</span>.
|
||
|
|
The <em>_r</em> routines are compatible with the UNIX<sup>®</sup> definition. All <em>_r</em> functions
|
||
|
|
reside in the existing service program <span class="filepath">QSOSRV2</span>.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>AnyNet<sup>®</sup> using
|
||
|
|
sockets:<p>AnyNet using sockets is considered threadsafe and
|
||
|
|
is supported in multithread programs. However, this support has not undergone
|
||
|
|
any formal testing.</p>
