From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: itz@very.loosely.org (Ian Zimmerman) Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 09:01:12 -0700 Subject: [TUHS] Sockets and the true UNIX Message-ID: <20170921160112.ctpv4a52t5rjcqzg@matica.foolinux.mooo.com> This question is motivated by the posters for whom FreeBSD is not Unix enough :-) Probably the best known contribution of the Berkeley branch of Unix is the sockets API for IP networking. But today, if for no other reason than the X/Open group of standards, sockets are the preferred networking API everywhere, even on true AT&T derived UNIX variants. So they must have been merged back at some point, or reimplemented. My question is, when and how did that happen? And if there isn't a simple answer because it happened at different times and in different ways for each variant, all the better :-) -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
