Table 8-1 Programming Hints Summary Tables for System and Library Calls Summary Tables for System and Library Calls The following table contains a summary of the BSD Sockets system calls. BSD Sockets System Calls System Call Description socket bind listen connect accept send, sendto, sendmsg recv, recvfrom, recvmsg shutdown Creates a socket, or communication endpoint for the calling process. Assigns a socket address to the socket specified by the calling process. Sets up a queue for incoming connection requests. (Stream sockets only.) For stream sockets, requests and creates a connection between the remote socket (specified by address) and the socket (specified by descriptor) of the calling process. For datagram sockets, permanently specifies the remote peer socket. Receives a connection between the socket of the calling process and the socket specified in the associated connect call. (Stream sockets only.) Sends data from the specified socket. Receives data at the specified socket. Disconnects the specified socket. Chapter 8 173
