@defvar for protocol variables, cross reference for getprotobyname,
note it's usually connect and accept that establishes communication.

Return a new socket port of the type specified by @var{family},
@var{style} and @var{proto}. All three parameters are
integers. Supported values for @var{family} are
@code{PF_UNIX}, @code{PF_INET} and @code{PF_INET6}.
Typical values for @var{style} are @code{SOCK_STREAM},
@code{SOCK_DGRAM} and @code{SOCK_RAW}.
@var{style} and @var{proto}. All three parameters are integers. The
possible values for @var{family} are as follows, where supported by
the system,
@defvar PF_UNIX
@defvarx PF_INET
@defvarx PF_INET6
@end defvar
The possible values for @var{style} are as follows, again where
supported by the system,
@defvar SOCK_STREAM
@defvarx SOCK_DGRAM
@defvarx SOCK_RAW
@end defvar
@var{proto} can be obtained from a protocol name using
@code{getprotobyname}. A value of zero specifies the default
protocol, which is usually right.
@code{getprotobyname} (@pxref{Network Databases}). A value of zero
means the default protocol, which is usually right.
A single socket port cannot by used for communication until it
has been connected to another socket.
A socket cannot by used for communication until it has been connected
somewhere, usually with either @code{connect} or @code{accept} below.
