Talk:Berkeley sockets

[edit] from talk:Accept (computing routine)
Why on earth does an obscure Unix library call merit an encyclopedia article? Maybe the library as a whole should, and it can contain links to man pages for each function, but this is so out-of-context I can't imagine it being useful. --LDC
I've moved it into a new page about the library as a whole. Fill it in as necessary. --Damian Yerrick
I'm going to re-arrange the descriptions of each function to be more readable (in my opinion), by listing the parameters in point-form. Discuss, and revert if it is decided that it's not better this way. - 129.78.64.101 03:32, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
Where are descriptions of send, recv, sendto and friends?
- You're right, this article isn't nearly "finished". It doesn't really need to describe the entire Berkeley sockets API, but the most commonly used functions would be nice. I might find time to do some work on the article within the next couple of weeks. - James Foster 13:40, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

- I've done a bit more work on the article. More to come, later. - James Foster 00:57, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sockets variations.
I was expecting computer sockets to be in their own article, instead, I find out that [socket] has only a small fraction of informations regarding [Computer sockets]. I believe this is quite bad. This shall really be linked with this page, maybe with a disambiguation. I find very difficult someone will write 'Berkeley sockets' for the API, not to mention the fact win32 is a popular platform so we may also take winsocks in consideration. I plan to be able to spend some time on this. Can you give me any suggestions? MaxDZ8 16:44, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed someone redirected Berkeley socket interface here. That's good. I believe I will start re-writing this soon (1-2 weeks). I believe I'll redirect this to socket (computer science) (it doesn't exist yet, I'll write it). Maybe I'll write before and then merge, who knows. Anyway, I will somewhat link this page and Winsock togheter (as in a'hub'). I also believe I'll scrap this layout completely.MaxDZ8 18:57, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The tutorial...
Originally located in the disambiguation page, I believe it's better to put it here. I hope it's work in progress but it's too much to scrap it over. MaxDZ8 talk 18:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- The tutorial needs some cleanup and should be wikified --vineeth 08:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

- The tutorial has been plagiarised from this website. I've reverted it. - James Foster 10:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UDP socket server using listen(..)
why is there a call to listen in the UDP server example? Listen is only used to put connections on a backlog. UDP is a connectionless protocol.

You are right. Stevens: "The listen function is called only by a TCP server [...]". Removing it. (The rest of the examples should be reviewed due to this blatant bug, of course.) JöG 14:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
