This enumeration contains values to specify the address family used by a socket. This indicates to which family of addressing schemes the address of the socket belongs. Note that the standard four-digit IP scheme falls under the enumeration InterNetwork , and its successor, IPv6, under the enumeration InterNetworkV6 .
