Chapter 2 Using Internet Stream Sockets




	NOTE: Release 10.10 and later releases support two variations of sockets behavior: classic HP-UX sockets and X/Open sockets. By default, users receive classic HP-UX sockets. To use X/Open sockets, users must make an addition to their make files by including the "-l xnet" argument with the "c89" or "cc" utilities. Users may 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. Users must also define the following for X/Open sockets behavior: _XOPEN_SOURCE; _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED = 1 See Appendix A for a table which summarizes the differences in calls for the two variations of sockets behavior. A quick reference card listing these call differences is also available. For detailed information about HP-UX sockets, see the remainder of this manual as well as the man pages. For detailed information about X/Open sockets, see "CAE Specification, Networking Services, Issue 4, X/Open" and the man pages.

This chapter describes creating an internet stream socket connection using the AF_INET address family.
