+.Sh NAME
+.Nm inet
+.Nd Internet protocol family
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In netinet/in.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The Internet protocol family is a collection of protocols
+layered atop the
+.Em Internet Protocol
+.Pq Tn IP
+transport layer, and using the Internet address format.
+The Internet family provides protocol support for the
+.Dv SOCK_STREAM , SOCK_DGRAM ,
+and
+.Dv SOCK_RAW
+socket types; the
+.Dv SOCK_RAW
+interface provides access to the
+.Tn IP
+protocol.
+.Sh ADDRESSING
+Internet addresses are four byte quantities, stored in
+network standard format (on the
+.Tn VAX
+these are word and byte
+reversed). The include file
+.In netinet/in.h
+defines this address
+as a discriminated union.
+.Pp
+Sockets bound to the Internet protocol family use
+the following addressing structure,
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct sockaddr_in {
+ uint8_t sin_len;
+ sa_family_t sin_family;
+ in_port_t sin_port;
+ struct in_addr sin_addr;
+ int8_t sin_zero[8];
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Sockets may be created with the local address
+.Dv INADDR_ANY
+to effect
+.Dq wildcard
+matching on incoming messages.
+The address in a
+.Xr connect 2
+or
+.Xr sendto 2
+call may be given as
+.Dv INADDR_ANY
+to mean
+.Dq this host .
+The distinguished address
+.Dv INADDR_BROADCAST
+is allowed as a shorthand for the broadcast address on the primary
+network if the first network configured supports broadcast.
+.Sh PROTOCOLS
+The Internet protocol family comprises
+the
+.Tn IP
+transport protocol, Internet Control
+Message Protocol
+.Pq Tn ICMP ,
+Transmission Control
+Protocol
+.Pq Tn TCP ,
+and User Datagram Protocol
+.Pq Tn UDP .
+.Tn TCP
+is used to support the
+.Dv SOCK_STREAM
+abstraction while
+.Tn UDP
+is used to support the
+.Dv SOCK_DGRAM
+abstraction. A raw interface to
+.Tn IP
+is available
+by creating an Internet socket of type
+.Dv SOCK_RAW .
+The
+.Tn ICMP
+message protocol is accessible from a raw socket.
+.Pp
+The 32-bit Internet address contains both network and host parts.
+It is frequency-encoded; the most-significant bit is clear
+in Class A addresses, in which the high-order 8 bits are the network
+number.
+Class B addresses use the high-order 16 bits as the network field,
+and Class C addresses have a 24-bit network part.
+Sites with a cluster of local networks and a connection to the
+Internet may chose to use a single network number for the cluster;
+this is done by using subnet addressing.
+The local (host) portion of the address is further subdivided
+into subnet and host parts.
+Within a subnet, each subnet appears to be an individual network;
+externally, the entire cluster appears to be a single, uniform
+network requiring only a single routing entry.
+Subnet addressing is enabled and examined by the following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+commands on a datagram socket in the Internet domain;
+they have the same form as the
+.Dv SIOCIFADDR
+command (see
+.Xr netintro 4 ) .
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width SIOCSIFNETMASK
+.It Dv SIOCSIFNETMASK
+Set interface network mask.
+The network mask defines the network part of the address;
+if it contains more of the address than the address type would indicate,
+then subnets are in use.
+.It Dv SIOCGIFNETMASK
+Get interface network mask.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+protocol interface appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The Internet protocol support is subject to change as
+the Internet protocols develop. Users should not depend
+on details of the current implementation, but rather
+the services exported.
