The Network Kit provides a collection of global C functions that let you communicate with other computers through the TCP or UDP protocols. With a few exceptions, the names and intents of the functions adhere to the precedent set by the BSD network/socket implementation. Note, however, that some BSD-defined functions are not yet implemented, and some function arguments are not necessarily compatible with the BSD functions they're derived from.
The network and socket documentation can be found in the sections The Network Kit: Sockets , and The Network Kit: Network Names, Addresses, and Services .
For information on e-mail services, please see the chapter cleverly entitled "The Mail Kit."
