Function 

Description 

vm_soc_accept 

Accepts a connection on a socket. 

vm_soc_bind 

Binds a local address with a socket. 

vm_soc_close_socket 

Closes the socket and release the resource. 

vm_soc_connect 

Connects a socket to a remote host. 

vm_soc_get_account_localip 

Gets the local IP held by the socket as specified. 

vm_soc_getpeername 

Retrieves the IP address and port number of the endpoint node. 

vm_soc_getsockname 

Retrieves the local IP address and port number. 

vm_soc_getsockopt 

Gets the socket options. 

vm_soc_htonl 

Converts long integer (32 bits) from host byte order to network byte order. 

vm_soc_htons 

Converts short integer (16 bits) from host byte order to network byte order 

vm_soc_inet_addr 

Converts the internet address in a dotted-decimal string notation into an internet network address in the IN_ADDR structure. 

vm_soc_inet_ntoa 

Converts an internet network address into a dotted-decimal string format. 

vm_soc_inet_ntop 

Converts an IPv4 or IPv6 address in its numeric binary form in network byte order into its standard text representation form. The format of 'x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d' is not supported. 

vm_soc_inet_pton 

Converts an IPv4 or IPv6 address in its standard text presentation form into its numeric binary form in network byte order. The format of 'x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d' is not supported. 

vm_soc_listen 

Makes the specified socket listen to the incoming connections. 

vm_soc_recv 

Receives data on a connected socket. 

vm_soc_recvfrom 

Receives data from the endpoint node. 

vm_soc_select 

Allows the application to query the status of multiple sockets. If timeout is null, vm_soc_select() will wait indefinitely until the first socket is ready. If both tv_sec and tv_msec are zero, vm_soc_select() will timeout immediately for polling the sockets in the set. in:

1. If listen has been called and a connection is pending, accept will succeed.
2. Data is available for reading (includes OOB data if VM_SOC_OOBINLINE is enabled).
3. Connection has been closed/reset/terminated

out:

1. If processing a connect request (non-blocking mode), connection has succeeded.
2. Data can be sent.

ex: If processing a connect request (non-blocking mode), connection attempt failed. OOB data... more 

vm_soc_send 

Sends data on a connected socket. 

vm_soc_sendto 

Sends data to the endpoint node. 

vm_soc_setsockopt 

This function sets the socket options. 

vm_soc_shutdown 

Shutdowns the connection in specific side, such as reading side, writing side, or both. In a half read situation, vm_soc_shutdown() discards the received data that the application has not yet read and any further incoming data. In a half write situation of TCP, the remaining data will be sent first, then the FIN will be sent to close the connection. 

vm_soc_socket 

Creates a socket. 

vm_soc_socket_ex 

Creates a socket with a particular bearer, as specified by the data_account_id. In contrast, the vm_soc_socket() creates a socket with the latest opened bearer.
