NAME
xopen_networking - X/Open Networking Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
X/Open has defined XTI, Sockets, and IP Address Resolution interfaces in X/Open CAE Specification,
Networking Services, Issue 4 (UNIX 95) and X/Open CAE Specification, Networking Services, Issue 5
(UNIX 98). For a detailed description of these interfaces, please refer to the above specifications or to the
book Go Solo, which is published by Prentice Hall. Go Solo also includes a CD ROM which contains the
above specification to other SPEC 1170 man pages.
COMPILING ENVIRONMENT
Using any of the Networking Services(XTI, sockets) requires
_XOPEN_SOURCE to be defined and
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
to be defined with the value
1.
The
_XOPEN_SOURCE
macro may be defined automatically by the compilation environment, but to ensure
portability the application should define the macro either on the compilation command line, or at the begin-
ning of each source module prior to the inclusion of any headers. The
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
macro will not be automatically defined by the compilation environment.
The c89 and cc utilities recognize the additional -l operand for standard libraries:
-l xnet This operand makes visible all functions referenced in the above specification by
having the linker search the appropriate X/Open networking interface libraries.
If you also specify the -l c operand to explicitly specify the C library, you must
specify the -l xnet operand before you specify the -l c operand.
AUTHOR
X/Open XTI, Sockets, and IP Address Resolution interfaces were developed by X/Open Company Limited.
