Hello all,
Today, when trying to show someone the beauty of sockets programming
via Stevens Bible II-ed. ;) the young lad observed that the sin_len
field was left out in Linux implementation. While WRS make clear that is
not required by Posix.1g standard and is usefull only to kernel
routines, the young aprentice asked why and what was the reason for
that.
Even more, he asked if he can "take the bull by the horns" and put the
member back in the structure without breaking something.
Now this is little over my head and I've taken the liberty to ask an
real kernel network about that issues hoping that someone will shed a
little light over that question.
Thank you,
Mircea C.
