NAME

socket - EXOS communications end point

DESCRIPTION

Sockets are special files whcih are used to maintain host data structures for an EXOS 8010 communications end point.  Opening a socket initializes the host data structures and corresponding EXOS board data structures.  This process requires cooperation with the EXOS/dev/admin device. 

ioctl calls implement any protocol specific operations.  A read or write to a socket device transfers data to and from a remote process.
