究竟应该是AF_INET还是PF_INET.

socket的第一个参数究竟应该是AF_INET还是PF_INET，虽然它们的值都是2。

我觉得应该是PF_INET，但我看大家用的多的还是AF_INET。

可为什么大家都用AF_INET，我还以为是我看的书是错的呢。
还有windows里是这样声明的
SOCKET socket(int af,int type,int protocol)；

up

[lang_ren]

一样的！

[blue_fairy]

因为在头文件里定义了二者相同的值。

标准的用法是SOCKET的第一个参数用:AF_INET.
现在用PF_INET也可以,但它们是有区别的.
以后就不知道能不能混用了.

同意 Eagle2004(Eagle)

我不同意 Eagle2004(Eagle) 。我觉得标准应该用PF_INET，只是后来微软的人搞错了，才会出现AF_INET。

sockaddr_in.sin_famiry = AF_INET
这里才是用AF_INET.
