Abstract

See full text

A library of reentrant networking functions organized with file system semantics is provided to allow a client application on a client computer connected to a computer network to establish communications with and exchange information with a server application on a server network computer. The library of reentrant networking functions are organized with file system semantics and parallel the function, structure and organization of a file system. Individual reentrant networking functions provide multiple networking features. The reentrant networking functions also provide asynchronous operations and security features. The library of reentrant networking functions can be included in, and called from multiple client applications. This library of reentrant networking function simplifies the creation of client applications such as network browsers that communicate with the Internet or an intranet computer network.
