>Description:
getaddrinfo(3):

     ai_family      The protocol family that should be used.  When ai_family
                    is set to PF_UNSPEC, it means the caller will accept any
                    protocol family supported by the operating system.

Even though the two constants happen to share the same value, I believe this 
ought to be AF_UNSPEC and "address family" and not PF_UNSPEC and "protocol 
family". SUS3 agrees.
