NAME

       sock_unregister - remove a protocol handler

SYNOPSIS

       void sock_unregister(int family);

ARGUMENTS

       family
	   protocol family to remove

DESCRIPTION

       This function is called by a protocol handler that wants to remove its address family, and have it unlinked from the new socket creation.

       If protocol handler is a module, then it can use module reference counts to protect against new references. If protocol handler is not a
       module then it needs to provide its own protection in the ops->create routine.

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

FILES

       /etc/sock2path	       file containing mappings from sockets to transport providers
