CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POSIX_NAMES¶
POSIX names for Sockets API (without full POSIX API)
Type: bool
Help¶
With this option, Socket API functions are available under the
standard POSIX names like socket(), recv(), and close(), etc.,
even if full POSIX API (CONFIG_POSIX_API) is not enabled. (Note
that close() may require a special attention, as in POSIX it
closes any file descriptor, while with this option enabled, it
will apply only to sockets.)
Various networking libraries require either
CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POSIX_NAMES or CONFIG_POSIX_API to be set.
If both are disabled, Zephyr's socket functions will be
available (only) with ``zsock_`` prefix, (e.g. `zsock_socket`).
This is useful only in peculiar cases, e.g. when integrating
with 3rd-party socket libraries.
Direct dependencies¶
!POSIX_API && NET_SOCKETS && NETWORKING
(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)
Default¶
