    lib/libc/net         sctp_sys_calls.c   Log:
  This adds the "system calls"
   sctp_connectx()
   sctp_bindx()
   sctp_sendmsg()
   sctp_send()
   sctp_sendx()
   sctp_sendmsgx()
   sctp_recvmsg()


What makes these sctp_* syscalls so special as opposed to their
generic and protocol agnostic counterparts?

The generic counter parts are what these calls (at least a few
of them send/recv etc) use to actually make the call. You can
use either the "generic" ones.. which of course is more efficent.
Or you can use the sctp_send* or sctp_recv* call instead.. which
is more portable.. since they conform to the socket api document.

Some of these (the rest) are not even system calls. but a collection
of socket options..

I have just got through getting the first cut of all the man
pages together... sigh.. still need more work on sctp(4).. but
I think I will send it all to George for approval.. I have also
asked some of the other SCTP team members to have a look at the
man pages and see if I missed anything .. which I probably did :-)
