I remember that AF stands for Address Family and PF stands for Protocol Family.
Also INET stands for INTERNET
The "Richard Stevens" Unix Network Programming book throws more light on that.
Thanks

I'm using AF_INET in sockets for inter process communication on the same machine. Is AF_UNIX better for IPC on the same machine than AF_INET in terms of performance? If so, how much better? I would like to know if there is sample code available to test this. I'm running the program on Solaris.

floatbg
floatbg(1X) floatbg(1X)
NAME
floatbg - slowly modify the color of the X root window
SYNTAX
floatbg [-display display] [-help] [-gnome] [-xfce] [-value float] [-satmid float] [-satvar float] [-fase float] [-time float]
DESCRIPTION
Floatbg is an X11 program that modifies the color of the root window in such a manner that you won't see the color change, but after a
while you'll notice that it did change, however.
Floatbg starts with a random color and changes it deterministically by moving through an hsv-model of colors. In the hsv-model, colors are
described by three parameters: Hue stands for the tint of a color (0 degrees is red, 60 = yellow, 120 = green, 180 = aquamarine, etc), sat-
urations stands for the brightness of the color (0 = white, 1 = bright), and value stands for the intensity of the color (0 = black, 1 =
normal).
Every 10 seconds the hue (tint) is increased by one degree and the saturation (brightness) is changed by a sinus over the hue. (The fre-
quency of this change can be adjusted with the -time parameter.) The shape of this sinus can be adapted with the options -satmid, -satvar
and -fase. The value (blackness) is fixed and can be set with the option -value. The default values are: floatbg -value .87 -satmid .375
-satvar .125 -fase .25, and are such that all pastel tints are visited.
Extremely simplistic Gnome and Xfce support can be enabled with the -gnome and -xfce flags.
BUGS
Floatbg doesn't use any window, button or menu, and it can only be stopped by killing it.
