This manual describes and illustrates the various options available for socket programming using simple examples. The example programs show how socket functions can be used for connection-oriented communication applications using the TCP protocol and the ISO service and for connectionless communication applications using the UDP protocol.
The manual is laid out as follows:
Chapters 2 to 5 provide an introduction to developing SOCKETS(BS2000) communication applications. Sample programs are used to illustrate basic topics such as address structures, connection setup, data transfer and client/server communications.
Chapter 6 contains an alphabetically-ordered reference section with the user functions of the SOCKETS(BS2000) interface.
Chapter 7 describes the additional functions of the Socket interface under BS2000 for the special mode using an external bourse.
Chapter 8 contains information on the following topics:
SOCKETS(BS2000) subsystems
SOCKETS(BS2000) user programs
Production of a SOCKETS(BS2000) user program with the associated software requirements
