Summary of Routines
ipx_ntoa converts an address from binary format to
hexadecimal format.
5-30
listen Sets the queue length (provided for compatibility
only; queue length always set to 5)
5-31
recv, recv_nw Receives data on a socket (waited or nowait) 5-32
recvfrom Receives data on an unconnected UDP or raw
socket (waited and nowait)
5-35
recvfrom_nw Receives data on an unconnected UDP socket,
raw
socket, or IPX socket created for nowait
operations.
5-37
send Sends data on a socket (waited) 5-40
send_nw2 Sends data on a socket without byte-count
header (nowait)
5-42
sendto Sends data on an unconnected UDP or raw
socket (waited)
5-45
sendto_nw Sends data on an unconnected UDP or raw
socket without byte-count header (nowait)
5-47
setsockopt,
setsockopt_nw
Sets socket options (waited and nowait) 5-49
shutdown,
shutdown_nw
Shuts down data transfer on a socket (waited or
nowait)
5-52
socket, socket_nw Creates a socket (waited or nowait) 5-54
socket_backup Allows user application to establish a NonStop
IPX/SPX backup process
5-57
socket_get_info Obtains address and length of data received from
an unconnected UDP or raw socket
5-59
socket_get_len Obtains byte count of data sent on a socket 5-61
socket_get_open_info Obtains parameters used to open a NonStop
IPX/SPX process. Used to checkpoint*
information for NonStop process pairs.
5-62
socket_ioctl,
socket_ioctl_nw
Performs a control operation on a socket (waited
or nowait)
5-63
