TCP/IP Programming Manual

UPPERCASE LETTERS
Uppercase letters indicate names from definition files. Type these names exactly as shown. For
example:
ZCOM-TKN-SUBJ-SERV
lowercase letters
Words in lowercase letters are words that are part of the notation, including Data Definition
Language (DDL) keywords. For example:
token-type
!r
The !r notation following a token or field name indicates that the token or field is required. For
example:
ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME token-type ZSPI-TYP-STRING. !r
!o
The !o notation following a token or field name indicates that the token or field is optional. For
example:
ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER token-type ZSPI-TYP-FNAME32. !o
Related Information
If you are writing programs that use the socket routines described in this manual, you should refer
to the following manuals:
• TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual for complete descriptions of NonStop
TCP/IPv6, including file formats and other specific information that applies to the whole
subsystem. This manual also describes the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) interactive interface
that allows operators and system managers to configure, control, and monitor the NonStop
TCP/IPv6/IP subsystem.
• TCP/IP Configuration and Management Manual for information about the architecture and
management of the NonStop TCP/IP subsystem.
• TCP/IP (Parallel Library) Configuration and Management Manual for information about the
architecture and management of the Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem.
• LAN Configuration and Management Manual for descriptions of the SLSA subsystem, which
provides parallel LAN I/O for NonStop S-series systems. In particular, this manual provides
information about logical interfaces (LIFs) and physical interfaces (PIFs) which are key concepts
for NonStop TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, and NonStop TCP/IPv6.
• TCP/IP Applications and Utilities User Guide describes the interactive interfaces to the following
TCP/IP applications: ECHO, FINGER, FTP, LISTNER, TFTP, TELNET, and TN6530. Server
information is included for FTP, TFTP, and TELNET.
If you are writing programs that use the socket function calls described in this manual, read the
following manuals for background and reference information:
• The C/C++ Programmer’s Guide provides information about the HP C language and compiler,
including the supplementary functions for the NonStop operating system environment.
• The TAL Reference Manual provides information about the HP TAL language and compiler.
• The TAL Programmer’s Guide provides information on mixed-language programming.
• The CRE Programming Manual provides information about programming sockets in the Common
Run-Time Environment (CRE) using the HP TAL language and compiler.
