For 10.10:

HP-UX 10.10 supports two sets of sockets behavior: HP-UX 10.01 and UNIX95 (X/Open Sockets). By default, you receive HP-UX 10.01 sockets. To use UNIX95, you must make an addition to your make scripts by including the -l xnet argument with the c89 or cc utilities.

You can also use the lint utility to check for possible violations to the X/Open Sockets specification by including -l xnet to the argument list of the lint utility.

You must also define the following for UNIX95 sockets behavior:

  XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1

Refer to the BSD Sockets Interface Programmers Guide for a list of supported calls for these two types of sockets behavior. The manual summarizes differences between the two sets of sockets behavior for each call.

For 10.0:

A new socket option has been added at 10.0 for more flexibility in TCP/IP connections and to conform to RFC 1122, Requirements for Internet Hosts. The new IP socket option, IP_TOS, allows applications to set the IP Type-Of-Service flags, and may affect the route chosen for IP packets over routers or gateways that implement the IP type of service.

For more information, refer to the Berkeley IPC Programmer's Guide and the ip(7p) manpage.
