<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>
<p>For additional information, see:</p>
