Being a beginner in programming with TLI on SunOS 4.1 I have encountered a basic question: How do I assign a transport address to a transport endpoint, which has been created using t_open. What kind of address is used by the TCP transport provider (device: /dev/tcp)? If I try to assign a simple integer value (as described in the Sun Manual) or an internet address (with and without port number!) in form of a string or in form of an integer value as a transport address to an endpoint, the t_bind or t_connect procedures fail! The error statements from t_error are: - "incorrect address format" (use of t_bind) - "address family not supported by protocol family" (use of t_connect) Thanx for any hints !
