sock2path(4)							   File Formats 						      sock2path(4)

NAME

       sock2path - file that maps sockets to transport providers

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sock2path

DESCRIPTION

       The  socket  mapping file,  /etc/sock2path, is a system file that contains the mappings between the socket(3SOCKET) call parameters and the
       transport provider driver. Its format is described on the soconfig(1M) manual page.

       The  init(1M) utility uses the soconfig utility with the sock2path file during the booting sequence.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: A Sample sock2path File

       The following is a sample sock2path file:

       #   Family   Type  Protocol    Path
	       2       2       0      /dev/tcp
