<h2>Sockets APIs</h2>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The sockets APIs consist of functions, structures, and defined macros. The
|
||
|
structures and defined macros are shipped as header files.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>An important part of interprocess communications is to locate and construct
|
||
|
network addresses. Many of the socket network APIs are inherently not
|
||
|
threadsafe. Threadsafe APIs have been added to mirror the function provided by
|
||
|
the non-threadsafe APIs. All threadsafe APIs follow the UNIX<SUP>(R)</SUP> convention of
|
||
|
appending R to the API name denoting threadsafe.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>There are two categories of sockets functions:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li><a href="unix8a.htm">system functions</a><br><br></li>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<li><a href="unix8b.htm">network functions</a></li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
