ldsocket(ADMN)                  19 June 1992                  ldsocket(ADMN)


 Name

    ldsocket - load socket configuration

 Syntax

    ldsocket [-v] [-c file]

 Description

    ldsocket initializes the "System V STREAMS TCP/IP" Berkeley networking
    compatibility interface, which is an alternate stream head supporting the
    socket(SSC) system call family. ldsocket loads the kernel with associa-
    tions 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      Verbose mode (a message is written to stderr for each protocol
            loaded)

 Files

    /etc/sockcf
