.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsocketpair()\fR library call creates an unnamed pair of connected
sockets in the specified address family \fIdomain\fR, of the specified
\fItype\fR, that uses the optionally specified \fIprotocol\fR. The descriptors
that are used in referencing the new sockets are returned in \fIsv\fR[0] and
\fIsv\fR[1]. The two sockets are indistinguishable.
