Hello,

I am developing a n/w protocol (its connection-oriented, reliable,
message-boundary preserving) over ethernet. I want to provide a
socket() interface for user-space programs. So somebody can send/recv
pkts using familiar socket interface: 

---
int sock;
sock = socket(MY_FAMILY, MY_TYPE, MY_PROTOCOL);
connect(sock, dest, xyz);
send(sock, msg, len, flags);
recv(sock, buf, len, flags);
close(sock);
---

Any pointers/suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Abhi.
