sock2path(4) File Formats sock2path(4)NAME
sock2path - file that maps sockets to transport providers
SYNOPSIS
/etc/sock2path
DESCRIPTION
The socket mapping file, /etc/sock2path, is a system file that contains the mappings between the socket(3SOCKET) call parameters and the
transport provider driver. Its format is described on the soconfig(1M) manual page.
The init(1M) utility uses the soconfig utility with the sock2path file during the booting sequence.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A Sample sock2path File
The following is a sample sock2path file:
# Family Type Protocol Path
2 2 0 /dev/tcp
2 2 6 /dev/tcp
26 2 0 /dev/tcp6
26 2 6 /dev/tcp6
2 1 0 /dev/udp
2 1 17 /dev/udp
26 1 0 /dev/udp6
26 1 17 /dev/udp6
1 2 0 /dev/ticotsord
1 6 0 /dev/ticotsord
1 1 0 /dev/ticlts
2 4 0 /dev/rawip
26 4 0 /dev/rawip6
24 4 0 /dev/rts
27 4 2 /dev/keysock

soconfig(1M) System Administration Commands soconfig(1M)NAME
soconfig - configure transport providers for use by sockets
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/soconfig -f file
/sbin/soconfig family type protocol [path]
DESCRIPTION
The soconfig utility configures the transport provider driver for use with sockets. It specifies how the family, type, and protocol parame-
ters in the socket(3SOCKET) call are mapped to the name of a transport provider such as /dev/tcp. This utility can be used to add an addi-
tional mapping or remove a previous mapping.
The init(1M) utility uses soconfig with the sock2path(4) file during the booting sequence.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-f file Set up the soconfig configuration for each driver according to the information stored in file. A soconfig file consists of lines
of at least the first three fields listed below, separated by spaces:
family type protocol path
These fields are described in the OPERANDS section below.
An example of file can be found in the EXAMPLES section below.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
family The protocol family as listed in the /usr/include/sys/socket.h file, expressed as an integer.
type The socket type as listed in the /usr/include/sys/socket.h file, expressed as an integer.
protocol The protocol number as specified in the family-specific include file, expressed as an integer. For example, for AF_INET
this number is specified in /usr/include/netinet/in.h. An unspecified protocol number is denoted with the value zero.
path The string that specifies the path name of the device that corresponds to the transport provider. If this parameter is
specified, the configuration will be added for the specified family, type, and protocol. If this parameter is not speci-
fied, the configuration will be removed.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using soconfig
The following example sets up /dev/tcp for family AF_INET and type SOCK_STREAM:
example# soconfig 2 2 0 /dev/tcp
The following is a sample file used with the -f option. Comment lines begin with a number sign (#):
# Family Type Protocol Path
2 2 0 /dev/tcp
2 2 6 /dev/tcp
2 1 0 /dev/udp
2 1 17 /dev/udp
1 2 0 /dev/ticotsord
1 1 0 /dev/ticlts
2 4 0 /dev/rawip
