- Network socket - Wikipedia
A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture
- Socket in Computer Network - GeeksforGeeks
A socket is one endpoint of a two way communication link between two programs running on the network The socket mechanism provides a means of inter-process communication (IPC) by establishing named contact points between which the communication take place
- socket(2) — Linux manual page - man7. org
socket() creates an endpoint for communication and returns a file descriptor that refers to that endpoint The file descriptor returned by a successful call will be the lowest-numbered file descriptor not currently open for the process

What is a socket? A socket can be thought of as an endpoint in a two-way communication channel Socket routines create the communication channel, and the channel is used to send data between application programs either locally or over networks
- What exactly is Socket - Stack Overflow
A socket allows an application to "plug in" to the network and communicate with other applications that are also plugged in to the same network Information written to the socket by an application on one machine can be read by an application on a different machine, and vice versa
- Understanding Sockets - DigitalOcean
Sockets are a way to enable inter-process communication between programs running on a server, or between programs running on separate servers Communication between servers relies on network sockets, which use the Internet Protocol (IP) to encapsulate and handle sending and receiving data

What is a Socket? Where does Socket fit in the Network Stack? When does write() block? Questions? Thank you!
