difference b/w AF_ prefix and PF_ prefix related to socket
 
Hi all,

As we know that while initializing sockaddr_in structure's members we use AF_ prefix and PF_ prefix.

But what is the basic difference b/w these two conventions and where to use
which convention

AF_ means address families, when PF_ means protocol families, but in practice it's the same.
