  2. Berkeley sockets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets

    A non-blocking socket returns whatever is in the receive buffer and immediately continues. If not written correctly, programs using non-blocking sockets are particularly susceptible to race conditions due to variances in network link speed. [citation needed] A socket is typically set to blocking or non-blocking mode using the functions fcntl ...

  3. Unix domain socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket

    The only range of communication difference is the method to convert a name to the address parameter needed to bind the socket's connection. For a Unix domain socket, the name is a /path/filename. For an Internet domain socket, the name is an IP address:Port number. In either case, the name is called an address. [3] Two processes may communicate ...

  4. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

    In computer science, an algorithm is called non-blocking if failure or suspension of any thread cannot cause failure or suspension of another thread; [1] for some operations, these algorithms provide a useful alternative to traditional blocking implementations. A non-blocking algorithm is lock-free if there is guaranteed system-wide progress ...

  5. Network socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_socket

    A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture.

  6. SocketCAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocketCAN

    The application first sets up its access to the CAN interface by initialising a socket (much like in TCP/IP communications), then binding that socket to an interface (or all interfaces, if the application so desires). Once bound, the socket can then be used like a UDP socket via read, write, etc... Python added support for SocketCAN in version ...

  7. Network block device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_block_device

    All of the function specific to network block device servers can reside in a userspace process because the process communicates with the client via conventional sockets and accesses the storage via a conventional file system interface. The network block device client module is available on Unix-like operating systems, including Linux.

  8. Filesystem in Userspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace

    The program is also used to mount the new file system. At the time the file system is mounted, the handler is registered with the kernel. If a user now issues read/write/stat requests for this newly mounted file system, the kernel forwards these IO-requests to the handler and then sends the handler's response back to the user. Unmounting a FUSE ...

  9. SOCKS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS

    Sun Java System Web Proxy Server is a caching proxy server running on Solaris, Linux and Windows servers that support HTTPS, NSAPI I/O filters, dynamic reconfiguration, SOCKSv5 and reverse proxy. WinGate is a multi-protocol proxy server and SOCKS server for Microsoft Windows which supports SOCKS4, SOCKS4a and SOCKS5 (including UDP-ASSOCIATE and ...
