libsocket - sockets library
Historically, this library provided the socket API, primarily used with the TCP/IP protocol suite. This functionality now resides in libc(3LIB).
This library is maintained to provide backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared object is implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development does not need to specify –lsocket.
32-bit shared object
64-bit shared object

The htonl(), htons(), ntohl(), and ntohs() functions were provided in the libsocket(3LIB) library in Solaris 2 through Solaris 10, and moved to the libc(3LIB) library in Solaris 11.0.
The rest of the historical content of the libsocket library moved to the libc(3LIB) library in Solaris 11.4.
