Detailed Description

Definitions for the Internet address family.

This file contains the standard definitions (as directed by the POSIX 2008 standard) for internet-related functionality in the AF_INET address family. This does is not guaranteed to have everything that one might have in a fully-standard compliant implementation of the POSIX standard.
