Parameters

Parameter	Description
socket-descriptor	Specifies the name of a fullword containing the socket descriptor to which to connect.
sockaddr	Specifies the name of an area that contains the sockaddr structure to which to connect. The format of the sockaddr structure depends on the domain of the corresponding socket. z/VSE systems: Only the domain AF_INET is supported. Specify family AF@INET when building the sockaddr structure.
sockaddr-length	Specifies the name of a fullword field containing the length of sockaddr. sockaddr-length can be specified as an absolute expression. The maximum value for this parameter is domain dependent. If the domain is AF_INET, it is the length of the SOCKET-SOCKADDR-IN record (SIN#LEN for Assembler). If the domain is AF_INET6, it is the length of the SOCKET-SOCKADDR-IN6 record (SIN6#LEN for Assembler).

Parameter

Description

socket-descriptor

Specifies the name of a fullword containing the socket descriptor to which to connect.

sockaddr

Specifies the name of an area that contains the sockaddr structure to which to connect. The format of the sockaddr structure depends on the domain of the corresponding socket.

z/VSE systems: Only the domain AF_INET is supported. Specify family AF@INET when building the sockaddr structure.

sockaddr-length

Specifies the name of a fullword field containing the length of sockaddr. sockaddr-length can be specified as an absolute expression.

The maximum value for this parameter is domain dependent. If the domain is AF_INET, it is the length of the SOCKET-SOCKADDR-IN record (SIN#LEN for Assembler). If the domain is AF_INET6, it is the length of the SOCKET-SOCKADDR-IN6 record (SIN6#LEN for Assembler).
