SOCKETS/XTI (POSIX SOCKETS)

The delivery unit POSIX also incorporates the SOCKETS/XTI interfaces for programming network functions which facilitate access to the Internet via TCP/IP and UDP/IP, thus giving access to the open network world.

The SOCKETS/XTI interfaces are supplied with POSIX-SOCKETS and defined in a separate library. If this library is linked into a POSIX application, the SOCKETS/XTI interfaces generate the connection to the network via the POSIX subsystem and the BCAM transport system.
