Здравствуйте. Страница «Berkley Sockets», раздел «Protocol and address families»
Все слова по отдельности понимаю что значат, а вот приложение из них составленное не хочет преобразовываться в законченную ментальную конструкцию внутри моей головы.
Буду признателен, если кто-нибудь объяснит своими словами. Особенно последние два предложения:
The original design concept of the socket interface distinguished between protocol types (families) and the specific address types that each may use. It was envisioned that a protocol family may have several address types. Address types were defined by additional symbolic constants, using the prefix AF instead of PF. The AF-identifiers are intended for all data structures that specifically deal with the address type and not the protocol family. However, this concept of separation of protocol and address type has not found implementation support and the AF-constants were defined by the corresponding protocol identifier, leaving the distinction between AF and PF constants as a technical argument of no practical consequence. Indeed, much confusion exists in the proper usage of both forms.[4]
