  55 .SH DESCRIPTION
  56 .LP
  57 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the unsigned integral type
  58 \fBsa_family_t\fR through \fBtypedef\fR.
  59 .sp
  60 .LP
  61 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBsockaddr\fR structure that
  62 includes the following members:

  65 .nf
  66 sa_family_t   sa_family     /* address family */

  72 .SS "\fBlibxnet\fR Interfaces"
  73 .LP
  74 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBmsghdr\fR structure for
  75 \fBlibxnet\fR interfaces that includes the following members:
  76 .sp
  77 .in +2
  78 .nf
  79 void            *msg_name         /* optional address */
  80 socklen_t       msg_namelen       /* size of address */

  91 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBcmsghdr\fR structure for
  92 \fBlibxnet\fR that includes the following members:
  93 .sp


 101 
 102 .sp
 103 .LP
 104 Ancillary data consists of a sequence of pairs, each consisting of a
 105 \fBcmsghdr\fR structure followed by a data array. The data array contains the
 106 ancillary data message, and the \fBcmsghdr\fR structure contains descriptive
 107 information that allows an application to correctly parse the data.
 108 .sp
 109 .LP
 110 The values for \fBcmsg_level\fR will be legal values for the level argument to
 111 the \fBgetsockopt()\fR and \fBsetsockopt()\fR functions. The \fBSCM_RIGHTS\fR
 112 type is supported for level \fBSOL_SOCKET\fR.
 113 .sp
 114 .LP
 115 Ancillary data is also possible at the socket level. The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR
 116 header defines the following macros for use as the \fBcmsg_type\fR values when
 117 \fBcmsg_level\fR is \fBSOL_SOCKET\fR.

 749 The \fImsg_name\fR and \fImsg_namelen\fR parameters specify the destination
 750 address when the socket is unconnected The \fImsg_name\fR can be specified as a
 751 \fINULL\fR pointer if no names are desired or required. The \fImsg_iov\fR and
 752 \fImsg_iovlen\fR parameters describe the scatter-gather locations, as described
 753 in \fBread\fR(2). The \fImsg_accrights\fR parameter specifies the buffer in
 754 which access rights sent along with the message are received. The
 755 \fImsg_accrightslen\fR specifies the length of the buffer.

  56 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the unsigned integral type
  57 \fBsa_family_t\fR through \fBtypedef\fR.
  58 .sp
  59 .LP
  60 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBsockaddr\fR structure that

  71 .SS "\fBlibxnet\fR Interfaces"

  72 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBmsghdr\fR structure for
  73 \fBlibxnet\fR interfaces that includes the following members:

  77 void            *msg_name         /* optional address */

  89 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBcmsghdr\fR structure for
  90 \fBlibxnet\fR that includes the following members:
  91 .sp


  99 
 100 .sp
 101 .LP
 102 Ancillary data consists of a sequence of pairs, each consisting of a
 103 \fBcmsghdr\fR structure followed by a data array. The data array contains the
 104 ancillary data message, and the \fBcmsghdr\fR structure contains descriptive
 105 information that allows an application to correctly parse the data.
 106 .sp
 107 .LP
 108 The values for \fBcmsg_level\fR will be legal values for the level argument to
 109 the \fBgetsockopt()\fR and \fBsetsockopt()\fR functions. The \fBSCM_RIGHTS\fR
 110 type is supported for level \fBSOL_SOCKET\fR.
 111 .sp
 112 .LP
 113 Ancillary data is also possible at the socket level. The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR
 114 header defines the following macros for use as the \fBcmsg_type\fR values when
 115 \fBcmsg_level\fR is \fBSOL_SOCKET\fR.

 691 .SS "\fBlibsocket\fR Interfaces"

 692 The \fB<sys/socket.h>\fR header defines the \fBmsghdr\fR structure for
 693 \fBlibsocket\fR interfaces that includes the following members:
 694 .sp
 695 .in +2
 696 .nf
 697 void           *msg_name        /* optional address */
 698 socklen_t      msg_namelen      /* size of address */
 699 struct iovec   *msg_iov         /* scatter/gather array */
 700 int            msg_iovlen       /* # elements in msg_iov */
 701 caddr_t        msg_accrights    /* access rights sent/received */
 702 .fi
 703 .in -2
 704 
 705 .sp
 706 .LP
 707 The \fImsg_name\fR and \fImsg_namelen\fR parameters specify the destination
 708 address when the socket is unconnected The \fImsg_name\fR can be specified as a
 709 \fINULL\fR pointer if no names are desired or required. The \fImsg_iov\fR and
 710 \fImsg_iovlen\fR parameters describe the scatter-gather locations, as described
 711 in \fBread\fR(2). The \fImsg_accrights\fR parameter specifies the buffer in
 712 which access rights sent along with the message are received. The
 713 \fImsg_accrightslen\fR specifies the length of the buffer.
