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.
