+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tcp
+.Nd Internet Transmission Control Protocol
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/socket.h>
+.Fd #include <netinet/in.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn socket AF_INET SOCK_STREAM 0
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Tn TCP
+protocol provides reliable, flow-controlled, two-way
+transmission of data.  It is a byte-stream protocol used to
+support the
+.Dv SOCK_STREAM
+abstraction.  TCP uses the standard
+Internet address format and, in addition, provides a per-host
+collection of
+.Dq port addresses .
+Thus, each address is composed
+of an Internet address specifying the host and network, with
+a specific
+.Tn TCP
+port on the host identifying the peer entity.
+.Pp
+Sockets utilizing the tcp protocol are either
+.Dq active
+or
+.Dq passive .
+Active sockets initiate connections to passive
+sockets.  By default
+.Tn TCP
+sockets are created active; to create a
+passive socket the
+.Xr listen 2
+system call must be used
+after binding the socket with the
+.Xr bind 2
+system call.  Only
+passive sockets may use the 
+.Xr accept 2
+call to accept incoming connections.  Only active sockets may
+use the
+.Xr connect 2
+call to initiate connections.
+.Pp
+Passive sockets may
+.Dq underspecify
+their location to match
+incoming connection requests from multiple networks.  This
+technique, termed
+.Dq wildcard addressing ,
+allows a single
+server to provide service to clients on multiple networks.
+To create a socket which listens on all networks, the Internet
+address
+.Dv INADDR_ANY
+must be bound.  The
+.Tn TCP
+port may still be specified
+at this time; if the port is not specified the system will assign one.
+Once a connection has been established the socket's address is
+fixed by the peer entity's location.   The address assigned the
+socket is the address associated with the network interface
+through which packets are being transmitted and received.  Normally
+this address corresponds to the peer entity's network.
+.Pp
+.Tn TCP
+supports one socket option which is set with
+.Xr setsockopt 2
+and tested with
+.Xr getsockopt 2 .
+Under most circumstances,
+.Tn TCP
+sends data when it is presented;
+when outstanding data has not yet been acknowledged, it gathers
+small amounts of output to be sent in a single packet once
+an acknowledgement is received.
+For a small number of clients, such as window systems
+that send a stream of mouse events which receive no replies,
+this packetization may cause significant delays.
+Therefore,
+.Tn TCP
+provides a boolean option,
+.Dv TCP_NODELAY
+(from
+.Aq Pa netinet/tcp.h ,
+to defeat this algorithm.
+The option level for the
+.Xr setsockopt
+call is the protocol number for
+.Tn TCP ,
+available from
+.Xr getprotobyname 3 .
+.Pp
+Options at the
+.Tn IP
+transport level may be used with
+.Tn TCP ;
+see
+.Xr ip 4 .
+Incoming connection requests that are source-routed are noted,
+and the reverse source route is used in responding.
+.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;
+.It Bq Er ENOBUFS
+when the system runs out of memory for
+an internal data structure;
+.It Bq Er ETIMEDOUT
+when a connection was dropped
+due to excessive retransmissions;
+.It Bq Er ECONNRESET
+when the remote peer
+forces the connection to be closed;
+.It Bq Er ECONNREFUSED
+when the remote
+peer actively refuses connection establishment (usually because
+no process is listening to the port);
+.It Bq Er EADDRINUSE
+when an attempt
+is made to create a socket with a port which has already been
+allocated;
+.It Bq Er EADDRNOTAVAIL
+when an attempt is made to create a 
+socket with a network address for which no network interface
+exists.
