IPC(2) Linux Programmer's Manual IPC(2)NAMEsocketcall - socket system calls
SYNOPSIS
int socketcall(int call, unsigned long *args);
DESCRIPTIONsocketcall() is a common kernel entry point for the socket system
calls. call determines which socket function to invoke. args points
to a block containing the actual arguments, which are passed through to
the appropriate call.
User programs should call the appropriate functions by their usual
names. Only standard library implementors and kernel hackers need to
know about socketcall().
CONFORMING TO
This call is specific to Linux, and should not be used in programs
intended to be portable.
