 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 miscellaneous functions such as
    select(S).
