27: .SH DESCRIPTION
28: These routines are loaded by the
29: .B -lin
30: option of
31: .IR ld (1).
32: .PP
33: TCP is a protocol layered
34: upon IP (internet protocol).
35: It provides full-duplex byte stream connections between
36: end points called sockets.
37: The address of a socket is composed of the internet address
38: of its host and the port number to which
39: the socket is bound.
40: .PP
41: .I Tcp_sock
42: returns the file descriptor of an unbound socket.
43: Once opened, a socket may be bound to a port number within the
44: host and set up as the active or passive end of a connection.
45: .PP
46: Addresses and parameters are passed in
47: .B tcpuser
48: structures:
49: .PP
50: .nf
51: .ft L
52: .ta 8n
53: struct tcpuser {
54: int code;
55: tcp_port lport, fport;
56: in_addr laddr, faddr;
57: int param;
58: };
59: .fi
60: .ft R
61: .PP
62: .I Lport
63: and
64: .I laddr
65: refer to the port and address numbers of the local end of a connection.
66: .I Fport
67: and
68: .I faddr
69: refer to the port and address numbers of the foreign end of a connection.
70: .PP
71: .I Tcp_connect
72: binds socket
73: .I fd
74: to port
75: .IB tp ->lport
76: and attempts to set up a connection to
77: the socket bound to port
78: .IB tp ->fport
79: on host
80: .IB tp ->faddr.
81: If
82: .IB tp ->lport
83: is 0, a local port number is automatically
84: chosen.
85: .I Tcp_connect
86: returns 0
87: if the connection is established, \-1 otherwise.
88: .IB Tp ->lport
89: and
90: .IB tp ->laddr
91: are filled in to reflect the local port and address numbers for the connection.
92: Communication proceeds by performing
93: .IR read (2)
94: and
95: .IR write
96: on
97: .IR fd .
98: If
99: .IB tp ->param
100: is non-zero, it specifies options to set for the connection.
101: The only option supported is
102: .B SO_KEEPALIVE
103: which causes empty messages to be sent periodically to
104: detect dead connections.
105: .PP
106: .I Tcp_listen
107: binds socket
108: .I fd
109: to port
110: .IB tp ->lport
111: and configures the socket to listen for connection requests to that port.
112: If
113: .IB tp ->faddr
114: and
115: .IB tp ->fport
116: are non-zero, only connections coming from sockets on machine
117: .I faddr
118: and bound to port
119: .I fport
120: are listened for.
121: .I Tcp_listen
122: returns 0
123: on success, \-1
124: otherwise.
125: .IB tp ->laddr
126: is filled in to reflect the local address number for the connection.
127: .IR Select (2)
128: can be used with a listening socket to provide asynchronous polling of
129: connection requests by selecting for pending input on the socket.
130: .PP
131: .I Tcp_accept
132: waits for and accepts a connection request sent to the listening socket
133: .I fd.
134: When a connection arrives,
135: .I tcp_accept
136: returns a new file descriptor over which communications can proceed.
137: .IB Tp ->faddr,
138: .IB tp ->fport,
139: .IB tp ->laddr,
140: and
141: .IB tp ->lport
142: are filled in to identify the two ends of the connection.
143: .IB Tp ->param
144: is filled in with the minor device number of the
145: tcp device used for the new connection.
146: .I Fd
147: is left open and continues listening for connections.
148: .PP
149: .I Tcp_rcmd
150: remotely executes a
151: .I cmd
152: on
153: .I host
154: as user
155: .I remuser.
156: Standard input is attached to
157: .I cmd's
158: standard input and
159: .I cmd's
160: standard output is attached to standard output.
161: If
162: .I fd2p
163: is non-zero, it is filled with the file descriptor of a new TCP connection attached
164: to
165: .I cmd's
166: standard error.
167: Otherwise,
168: .I cmd's
169: standard error is attached to its standard output.
