* posix.texi (Network Sockets and Communication): In socket, use
@defvar for protocol variables, cross reference for getprotobyname,
note it's usually connect and accept that establishes communication.
- Scheme Procedure: socket family style proto
- C Function: scm_socket (family, style, proto)
Return a new socket port of the type specified by FAMILY, STYLE
and PROTO. All three parameters are integers. The possible
values for FAMILY are as follows, where supported by the system
- Variable: PF_UNIX
- Variable: PF_INET
- Variable: PF_INET6
The possible values for STYLE are as follows, again where
supported by the system,
- Variable: SOCK_STREAM
- Variable: SOCK_DGRAM
- Variable: SOCK_RAW
PROTO can be obtained from a protocol name using `getprotobyname'
(*note Network Databases::). A value of zero specifies the
default protocol, which is usually right.
A socket cannot by used for communication until it has been
connected somewhere, usually with either `connect' or `accept'
below.
