TLI (POSIX-NSL)

In addition to the SOCKETS interfaces (see "SOCKETS/XTI (POSIX SOCKETS)"), the TLI network interfaces are also optionally available. These likewise facilitate access to Internet on the basis of TCP/IP and UDP/IP. The TLI interfaces are included in the POSIX-NSL component; POSIX-NSL is supplied with POSIX.

Like the SOCKETS interfaces, the TLI interfaces consist of a number of library functions which provide the connection to the network via the BCAM transport system.
