socket, socket_nw

The socket function creates a socket for waited operations; the socket_nw function

creates a socket for nowait operations.

socket_file_number

is the socket number for the newly created socket. This is the return value. If the

call is not successful -1 is returned, and the external variable errno is set as

indicated below in “Errors.”

address_family

specifies the address format. The value given for this parameter must be AF_NV

for IPX/SPX.
