  13 This section describes various device and network interfaces  available on the
  14 system.  The types of interfaces described  include character and block
  15 devices, STREAMS modules, network protocols, file systems, and ioctl requests
  16 for driver subsystems and classes.

  26 The system provides drivers for a variety of hardware devices, such as disk,
  27 magnetic tapes, serial communication lines, mice, and frame  buffers, as well
  28 as virtual devices such as pseudo-terminals and windows.

  30 This section describes special files that refer to specific hardware
  31 peripherals and device drivers. STREAMS   device drivers are also described.

  83 This section describes ioctl requests which apply to a class of drivers or
  84 subsystems. For example, ioctl requests which apply to most tape devices are
  85 discussed in  \fBmtio\fR(7I). Ioctl requests relevant to only a specific
  86 device are described on the man page for that device. The page for the device
  87 in question should still be examined for exceptions to the ioctls listed in
  88 section 7I.

  98 drivers are discussed in section 7D. \fBstreamio\fR(7I) contains a list of
  99 ioctl requests used to manipulate \fBSTREAMS\fR modules and interface with the
 100 \fBSTREAMS\fR framework.  Ioctl requests specific to a  \fBSTREAMS\fR module
 101 will be discussed on the man page for that module.

 110 This section describes various network protocols available in SunOS.
 111 .sp
 112 SunOS supports both socket-based and \fBSTREAMS-based\fR network
 113 communications. The Internet protocol family, described in \fBinet\fR(7P), is
 114 the primary protocol family supported by SunOS, although the system can support
 115 a number of others.  The raw interface provides low-level services, such as
 116 packet fragmentation and reassembly, routing, addressing, and basic transport
 117 for socket-based implementations.  Facilities for communicating using an
 118 Internet-family protocol are generally accessed by specifying the \fBAF_INET\fR
 119 address family when binding a socket; see \fBsocket\fR(3SOCKET) for details.
 120 .sp
 121 Major protocols in the Internet family include:


 139 .ie t \(bu
 140 .el o
 141 The User Datagram Protocol (UDP); see \fBudp\fR(7P). This is the default
 142 protocol for \fBSOCK_DGRAM\fR type sockets.
