Chapter 15 - Networking with TLI

UNIX Systems Programming for SVR4
David A. Curry
 Copyright © 1996 O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Chapter Summary
In this chapter, we examined the Transport Layer Interface, an alternative to the socket interface for UNIX networking. Although the TLI is, arguably, a better interface than the socket interface since it is protocol-independent, it is seldom used. If portability is a goal, the TLI should be avoided in favor of the socket interface.
The information in this chapter covers only the basics of using the TLI. For a thorough discussion of the interface, as well as the STREAMS subsystem on which it is based, consult Stephen A. Rago's book UNIX System V Network Programming, published by Addison-Wesley.
