| | Berkeley sockets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Berkeley socket interface is an API that allows communications between hosts or between processes on one computer, using the concept of a socket. | | | The Berkeley sockets application programming interface (API) comprises a library for developing applications written in the C programming language that access a computer network. | | | It was first developed at the University of California at Berkeley for use on UNIX systems. |

| | Socket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the world of computers, a socket is a form of inter-process communication used to form one end of a bi-directional communication link between two applications, likely over a computer network but potentially also on the same machine. | | | In electronics, a socket is also used as a synonym for a jack. | | | In RFC documents relating to TCP or UDP, a socket on a certain host is defined as the combination of an IP address, a protocol, and a port number. |

| | Windows Sockets |
| | However a Windows Sockets implementation must not return any value which is not enumerated in the table of legal Windows Sockets errors given in Error Codes. | | | Windows Sockets is an independent specification which was created and exists for the benefit of application developers and network vendors and, indirectly, computer users. | | | The Windows Sockets specification defines a network programming interface for Microsoft Windows which is based on the "socket" paradigm popularized in the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) from the University of California at Berkeley. |

| | Application Programming Interface API |
| | Sockets is the original networking interface, developed by UCB for their BSD-series UNIX operating systems. | | | Although this discussion has been C-oriented, it is worth mentioning that Sockets has been successfully ported to other language environments, of which Perl is the most notable for UNIX systems. | | | Since the average UNIX Sockets program will block in several places (such as DNS lookups, or opening a TCP connection, or reading from one), porting network software to Microsoft Windows usually requires some code modification. |

| | Berkeley description: An attempt was made to access an open file (on an NFS filesystem) which is now unavailable as referenced by the file descriptor. | | | Berkeley description: A write to an ordinary file, the creation of a directory or symbolic link, or the creation of a directory entry failed because the user's quota of disk blocks was exhausted, or the allocation of an inode for a newly created file failed because the user's quota of inodes was exhausted. | | | The error occurs with the socket() function, which takes the socket type (protocol) and address family as input parameters. |

| | Berkeley sockets notes |
| | The point of sockets is to provide a way to get information from one place to another via a computer network (which could use any of a hundred protocols) in a way that doesn't require that you rewrite your program every time it gets ported to a different platform. | | | Now that a socket has been created, you probably need to look up the address of the destination machine. | | | A web browser is just a big fat socket program that pays a lot of attention to the data it gets. |

| | NETBOOK - Q & A on AT&T TLI vs. Berkeley Sockets |
| | Sockets originated in the version of Unix from Berkeley (BSD Unix), and TLI originated in the version of Unix from ATT (System V Unix). | | | In particular, the Microsoft version of sockets (Windows Sockets) requires additional initialization calls that are not used in Unix versions. | | | In such cases, one might prefer the socket API because more operating systems use sockets than TLI. |

| | CampSmalltalk: Berkeley Sockets Interface |
| | This document standardizes the Smalltalk view of the Berkeley Sockets interface found on many operating systems. | | | Non-BSD socket implementations can provide BSD wrappers to their non-BSD socket API elements. | | | It seems to me that in units of usefulness implementing against the 4.4BSD socket API is the best way to start. |

| | High-Performance Communications |
| | We have developed Fast Sockets, a user-level library which provides the Berkeley Sockets API but yields high-performance communication. | | | We have recorded single-byte round-trip times of 81 microseconds using Fast Sockets on the Myrinet/SPARCstation 20 network here at Berkeley; preliminary results on the UltraSPARCS have single-byte round-trips of 54 microseconds. | | | No guarantees are made as to the usefulness or correctness of this software - if it melts your network card, too bad (it hasn't melted ours yet). |
