RFC2553 "Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6" 93

RFC 2553 Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6 March 1999

Once the application has created a PFINET6 socket, it must use the

sockaddr_in6 address structure when passing addresses in to the

system. The functions that the application uses to pass addresses

into the system are:

bind()

connect()

sendmsgO

sendtoO

The system

will

use the sockaddr_in6 address structure to return

addresses to applications that are using PF_INET5 sockets. The

functions that return an address from the system to an application

are:

accept()

recvfromO

recvmsgO

getpeernameO ...
