IPv4 TCP Server Code Fragment

IPv4 TCP Server Code Fragment
This code fragment is part of the same example IPv4 server program that ships in the HP-UX
11i v2 /usr/lib/demos/networking/socket directory.

exit(1);
}

/* Create the listen socket. */
ls = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (ls == -1) {
perror(argv[0]);
fprintf(stderr, "%s: unable to create socket\n", argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
/* Bind the listen address to the socket. */
