Method Detail

make_endpoint

public static int make_endpoint(MFile handle,
                                int domain,
                                int type)

creates a new socket endpoint. This does very little until the socket is actually actioned in some way (e.g. listen/connect/receive)

handle - file-handle that will be associated with the socket endpoint

domain - domain of this socket (PF_...)

type - type of this socket (SOCK_...)

Returns:

0 on success, or < 0 indicating error
