Hi Sadish:
Take a look at the socket(9) man page, which is the KPI used by in-kernel
consumers of sockets such as the NFS client and server, smbfs (via netsmb),
ncpfs (via netncp), etc. This is very close to the socket(2) system call API,
but non-identical, so give a ping if you have any questions.
