NAME

       in.h, in - Internet Protocol family

SYNOPSIS

       #include <netinet/in.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The <netinet/in.h> header defines the following types through typedef:

       in_port_t       An unsigned integral type of exactly 16 bits.

       in_addr_t       An  unsigned  integral  type  of exactly 32 bits. The <netinet/in.h> header defines the in_addr structure that includes the
		       following member:

       The <netinet/in.h> header defines the in_addr structure that includes the following member:

       in_addr_t       s_addr

       The <netinet/in.h> header defines the type sa_family_t as described in socket.h(3HEAD).

       The <netinet/in.h> header defines the following macros for use as values of the level argument of getsockopt() and setsockopt():

       IPPROTO_IP	       Dummy for  IP

       IPPROTO_ICMP	       Control message protocol

       IPPROTO_TCP	       TCP

       IPPROTO_UDP	       User datagram protocol The <netinet/in.h> header defines the following macros for use as destination addresses  for
			       connect(), sendmsg(), and sendto():

       INADDR_ANY	       Local host address

       INADDR_BROADCAST        Broadcast address

       The  <netinet/in.h>  header  defines the sockaddr_in structure that is used to store addresses for the Internet protocol family.  Values of
       this type must be cast to struct sockaddr for use with the socket interfaces.

   Default
       For applications that do not require standard-conforming behavior (those that use the socket interfaces described in section(3SOCKET)	of
       the reference manual; see Intro(3) and standards(5)), the <netinet/in.h> header defines the sockaddr_in structure that includes the follow-
       ing members:

       sa_family_t     sin_family
       in_port_t       sin_port
       struct in_addr  sin_addr
       char	       sin_zero[8]

   Standard conforming
       For applications that require standard-conforming behavior (those that use the socket interfaces described in section(3XNET) of the refer-
       ence  manual;  see Intro(3) and standards(5)), the <netinet/in.h> header defines the sockaddr_in structure that includes the following mem-
       bers:

       sa_family_t     sin_family
       in_port_t       sin_port
       struct in_addr  sin_addr
       unsigned char   sin_zero[8]
