Is that similar to ISBN 0-201-54979-4, which I have?  That mentions
sosend, soreceive, etc., but not in the detail I wanted.  I suppose I
could go at it with trial and error, but I thought I'd ask first to try
and save some time.  Like I said, it struck me as odd that there are man
pages for most other kernel functions, but not these, leading me to ask
if they were legit to use.

Sorry to intrude.

Cheers,

Paul.
