+.SH NAME
+socket
+\(em create an endpoint for communication
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <sys/socket.h>
+.P
+int socket(int \fIdomain\fP, int \fItype\fP, int \fIprotocol\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIsocket\fR()
+function shall create an unbound socket in a communications domain, and
+return a file descriptor that can be used in later function calls that
+operate on sockets. The file descriptor shall be allocated as described in
+.IR "Section 2.14" ", " "File Descriptor Allocation".
+.P
+The
+\fIsocket\fR()
+function takes the following arguments:
+.IP "\fIdomain\fR" 12
+Specifies the communications domain in which a socket is to be
+created.
+.IP "\fItype\fR" 12
+Specifies the type of socket to be created.
+.IP "\fIprotocol\fR" 12
+Specifies a particular protocol to be used with the socket. Specifying
+a
+.IR protocol
+of 0 causes
+\fIsocket\fR()
+to use an unspecified default protocol appropriate for the requested
+socket type.
+.P
+The
+.IR domain
+argument specifies the address family used in the communications
+domain. The address families supported by the system are
+implementation-defined.
+.P
+Symbolic constants that can be used for the domain argument are defined
+in the
+.IR <sys/socket.h> 
+header.
+.P
+The
+.IR type
+argument specifies the socket type, which determines the semantics of
+communication over the socket. The following socket types are defined;
+implementations may specify additional socket types:
+.IP SOCK_STREAM 12
+Provides sequenced, reliable, bidirectional, connection-mode byte
+streams, and may provide a transmission mechanism for out-of-band
+data.
+.IP SOCK_DGRAM 12
+Provides datagrams, which are connectionless-mode, unreliable messages
+of fixed maximum length.
+.IP SOCK_SEQPACKET 12
+.br
+Provides sequenced, reliable, bidirectional, connection-mode
+transmission paths for records. A record can be sent using one or more
+output operations and received using one or more input operations, but
+a single operation never transfers part of more than one record. Record
+boundaries are visible to the receiver via the MSG_EOR flag.
+.P
+If the
+.IR protocol
+argument is non-zero, it shall specify a protocol that is supported by
+the address family. If the
+.IR protocol
+argument is zero, the default protocol for this address family and type
+shall be used. The protocols supported by the system are
+implementation-defined.
+.P
+The process may need to have appropriate privileges to use the
+\fIsocket\fR()
+function or to create some sockets.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIsocket\fR()
+shall return a non-negative integer, the socket file descriptor.
+Otherwise, a value of \-1 shall be returned and
+.IR errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.br
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIsocket\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EAFNOSUPPORT
+.br
+The implementation does not support the specified address family.
+.TP
+.BR EMFILE
+All file descriptors available to the process are currently open.
+.TP
+.BR ENFILE
+No more file descriptors are available for the system.
+.TP
+.BR EPROTONOSUPPORT
+.br
+The protocol is not supported by the address family, or the protocol is
+not supported by the implementation.
+.TP
+.BR EPROTOTYPE
+The socket type is not supported by the protocol.
+.P
+The
+\fIsocket\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EACCES
+The process does not have appropriate privileges.
+.TP
+.BR ENOBUFS
+Insufficient resources were available in the system to perform the
+operation.
+.TP
+.BR ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory was available to fulfill the request.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The documentation for specific address families specifies which
+protocols each address family supports. The documentation for specific
+protocols specifies which socket types each protocol supports.
+.P
+The application can determine whether an address family is supported by
+trying to create a socket with
+.IR domain
+set to the protocol in question.
+.SH "RATIONALE"
+None.
