From: Brian.Chan@bbs.oit.unc.edu (Brian Chan) Subject: Socket library, is it complete? Date: 7 Jul 1992 10:44:49 GMT
How good is the socket library of Linux? From reading various posts, I
know Linux supports AF_UNIX (unix domain sockets using pathnames) and
not AF_INET (internet domain sockets using internet addresses). Am I
right to assume all the socket related calls such as bind(), listen(),
accept(), select() ... work the same way as the BSD sockets? In
other words, will linux compile socket_demo as posted on
comp.sources.unix?
I am trying to port a IPC library I wrote on the Sun to the Esix 3.2
Rev.D
and I had nothing but troubles. I am thinking dumping the E$ix
and use linux instead. (I would use bsd386 but I can't find any X11R5
sever binaries and 0.0 doesn't co-exist with DOS offically at this
moment.)
Thx a million,
