     SOCK(ADMP)                                 UNIX System V



     Name
          sock - Socket Interface Driver


     Description
          The socket driver is used to  provide  socket  emulation  to
          applications.   Sockets  are  an  alternate entry point into
          transport providers, such as tcp(ADMP).  The  socket  driver
          is a character device that acts as an alternate stream head,
          augmenting the functions of the standard  stream  head.   It
          also  provides  support  for miscelleanous functions such as
          select(SSC).
