NAME
rxsock - socket function library for Regina Rexx
SYNOPSIS
rxsock [OPTIONS] [FILE]
call RxFuncAdd 'SockLoadFuncs','rxsock','SockLoadFuncs'
call SockLoadFuncs
DESCRIPTION
rxsock is a socket library for regina(1)
RxSock's interface is compatible with the one provided by IBM with OS/2 and with Object Rexx for Windows. See http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/rexxtut/socktut1.htm for a description of the API.
The differences between this RxSock and the one provided with OS/2 4.0 are listed in the file difference.os2.
RxSock can be used in one of two ways. The first is to run a rexx script as an argument to rxsock, optionally with the command line switches described below.
The more common usage is to load the rxsock function package with the Regina built-in function RxFuncAdd() (the second SYNOPSIS example.) Note that the rexx script must be invoked with /usr/bin/regina and not /usr/bin/rexx.
