About this FAQ
This FAQ is maintained by Vic Metcalfe (vic@acm.org), with lots of
assistance from Andrew Gierth (andrew@erlenstar.demon.co.uk). I am
depending on the true wizards to fill in the details, and correct my
(no doubt) plentiful mistakes. The code examples in this FAQ are
written to be easy to follow and understand. It is up to the reader
to make them as efficient as required. I started this faq because
after reading comp.unix.programmer for a short time, it became evident
that a FAQ for sockets was needed.

Please email me if you would like to correct or clarify an answer. I
would also like to hear from you if you would like me to add a
question to the list. I may not be able to answer it, but I can add
it in the hopes that someone else will submit an answer. Every hour I
seem to be getting even busier, so if I am slow to respond to your
email, please be patient. If more than a week passes you may want to
send me another one as I often put messages aside for later and then
forget about them. I'll have to work on dealing with my mail better,
but until then feel free to pester me a little bit.
