Function list (Bold in this list means a function is not static)

/* us_xfr_v2_sv.c

   An example UNIX stream socket server. Accepts incoming connections and
   copies data sent from clients to stdout. This program is similar to
   us_xfr_sv.c, except that it uses the functions in unix_sockets.c to
   simplify working with UNIX domain sockets.

   See also us_xfr_v2_cl.c.

Note that, in most cases, the programs rendered in these web pages are not free standing: you'll typically also need a few other source files (mostly in the lib/ subdirectory) as well. Generally, it's easier to just download the entire source tarball and build the programs with make(1). By hovering your mouse over the various hyperlinked include files and function calls above, you can see which other source files this file depends on.
