Programmer’s Guide | Compaq AA-RH8RD-TE manual

Transport Interface (XTI) and the sockets and STREAMS programming frameworks, including information about system calls, header files, and libraries. Additionally, it provides information about porting sockets-based applications to XTI.

This manual also describes the software bridge ifnet (STREAMS module and DLPI STREAMS pseudodevice driver) that the Tru64 UNIX operating system supports. This bridge allows programs that use sockets-based protocol stacks to access STREAMS drivers and programs that use STREAMS-based protocol stacks to access BSD-based drivers.

This manual is for experienced UNIX programmers.
