+.Sh NAME
+.Nm icmp
+.Nd Internet Control Message Protocol
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/socket.h>
+.Fd #include <netinet/in.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn socket AF_INET SOCK_RAW proto
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Tn ICMP
+is the error and control message protocol used
+by
+.Tn IP
+and the Internet protocol family. It may be accessed
+through a
+.Dq raw socket
+for network monitoring
+and diagnostic functions.
+The
+.Fa proto
+parameter to the socket call to create an
+.Tn ICMP
+socket
+is obtained from
+.Xr getprotobyname 3 .
+.Tn ICMP
+sockets are connectionless,
+and are normally used with the
+.Xr sendto
+and
+.Xr recvfrom
+calls, though the
+.Xr connect 2
+call may also be used to fix the destination for future
+packets (in which case the
+.Xr read 2
+or
+.Xr recv 2
+and
+.Xr write 2
+or
+.Xr send 2
+system calls may be used).
+.Pp
+Outgoing packets automatically have an
+.Tn IP
+header prepended to
+them (based on the destination address).
+Incoming packets are received with the
+.Tn IP
+header and options intact.
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+A socket operation may fail with one of the following errors returned:
+.Bl -tag -width [EADDRNOTAVAIL]
+.It Bq Er EISCONN
+when trying to establish a connection on a socket which
+already has one, or when trying to send a datagram with the destination
+address specified and the socket is already connected;
+.It Bq Er ENOTCONN
+when trying to send a datagram, but
+no destination address is specified, and the socket hasn't been
+connected;
+.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
+when the system runs out of memory for
+an internal data structure;
+.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
+when an attempt is made to create a
+socket with a network address for which no network interface
+exists.
