Chris, >I thought that, AF_INET for example in the first argument stood >for Address_Family_Internet? Could be a misnomer however :) Obviously, if I say the first argument of socket(2) is a Protocol Family, I'm thinking of PF_INET. Steven's UNIX Network Programming v1 says the first argument to socket(2) is a Protocol Family. He explains the confusion around this, and says that as most code uses AF_INET instead PF_INET for the first argument to socket(), if AF_INET was defined to be something different to PF_INET, then lots of code would break. I don't remember what POSIX says about it....
