libxnet(3LIB)

Name

libxnet - X/Open Networking library

Description

Historically, this library provided networking interfaces which comply with the X/Open CAE Specification, Networking Services, Issue 4. 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 –lxnet.
