LDSOCKET(ADMN)                     UNIX System V



     Name
          ldsocket - load socket configuration


     Syntax
          ldsocket [-v] [-c file]


     Description
          ldsocket initializes the System V  STREAMS  TCP/IP  Berkeley
          networking  compatability  interface,  which is an alternate
          stream head supporting the socket(SSC) system  call  family.
          ldsocket  loads  the  kernel  with  associations between the
          protocol family, type and  number  triplets  passed  to  the
          socket system call, and the STREAMS devices supporting those
          protocols.  ldsocket reads the file  /etc/sockcf  to  obtain
          configuration  information,  and  must  be  run  before  the
          Berkeley networking interface can be used.

          The following options  may  be  specified  on  the  ldsocket
          command line:

          -c file Use file instead of /etc/sockcf.

          -v      Use verbose mode (in which a message is  written  to
                  stderr for each protocol loaded).


     Files
          /etc/sockcf
