Message-ID: <5968@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu> Date: 27 Jun 88 18:21:53 GMT Reply-To: randy@umn-cs.UUCP (Randy Orrison) Followup-To: poster Organization: Control Data, Arden Hills, Minnesota Lines: 22 For a project I'm working on... What are the SVID and POSIX eqivalents of sockets in BSD? What are the standard approaches to a user program using network services in System V (I guess I'm also interested in pre-SVID versions of SysV) and under the proposed POSIX standard? I suppose it would be nice to have a quick summary description too... Also, do they interface? Can i connect a socket on a BSD system to a snark on a POSIX system? Thanks in advance! -randy "Reply via mail, if there's interest i'll summarize back to the net." -- Randy Orrison, Control Data, Arden Hills, MN randy@ux.acss.umn.edu {bungia, uunet!hi-csc, rutgers, sun}!umn-cs!randy "I consulted all the sages I could find in Yellow Pages, but there aren't many of them." -APP
