Are there man pages for data structures?
Are there manpages available for data structures?. I am looking
for ones like sockaddr_in, hostent etc. I don't any any, at least on my machine, so I am not sure if I never installed those, or they are not a part of documentation at all. If they are not documented by man, how to find out online help for data structures? Thanks in advance, Ravi |
Try man -k sockaddr_in
You could also post to the gnu / gcc mailing list or news-group(s) |
There are functions described in man, not structures.
I don't know a good source of about data structures used for socket programming, but they are all defined in /usr/include (directories sys, netinet etc), usually with comments. Example: sockaddr_in /usr/include/netinet/in.h hostent /usr/include/netdb.h |
The info pages of libc contain a lot of useful info. You might want to look in there
