This is getting confusing now, the linux manpage lists the PF_ values, but=
=20
refers to AF_ later on.
The BSD manpage I found uses AF_

http://www.neosoft.com/neosoft/man/socket.2.html
..
int
socket(int domain, int type, int protocol)
..
The domain parameter specifies a communications domain within which=20
communication will take place; this selects the protocol family which=20
should be used. These families are defined in the include file=20
<sys/socket.h>. The currently understood formats are
..
AF_UNIX
         (UNIX internal protocols), AF_INET
(ARPA Internet protocols),

AF_ISO....

Hmmmmm.
Also the Win32 docs call this parameter "address family" rather than=20
"protocol family".I don't have access to BSD or POSIX specs so I don't know=
=20
the official line.
It's a mystery.:-)
