The following features provide various methods of networking on the target:
The SLIP
feature allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces. This feature needs to be configured in order to fully support the ADMIN_SLIP
feature as well as the various slip related commands provides by the Sun Embedded Workshop system.
For more details, see SLIP(5FEA).
The POSIX_SOCKETS
feature provides a TCP/IP stack through POSIX-compatible socket system calls. For general information on this feature, see intro(2POSIX) and the POSIX draft standard P1003.1g. However, POSIX_SOCKETS
only provides support of the AF_INET
domain. The AF_LOCAL
domain support is provided by the AF_LOCAL
feature.
For more details, see POSIX_SOCKETS(5FEA).
The PPP
feature allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the Point-to-Point Protocol. This feature needs to be configured in order to fully support the ADMIN_PPP
feature as well as the various PPP related commands provided by the Sun Embedded Workshop system.
For more details, seePPP(5FEA).
The AF_LOCAL
feature provides support for the AF_LOCAL
domain for sockets. It requires and complements the POSIX_SOCKETS
feature which provides the AF_INET
domain independently.
For more details, see AF_LOCAL(5FEA).
