The debugging tools sockets interface

The debugging tools sockets interface is an interface that debugging tools can use to communicate with a debugger client. It uses the support for TCP/IP provided by the CICS® sockets domain.

The interface supports a limited number of socket calls used in a restricted way, and is not a full function application programming interface. The interface is not optimized for concurrent use.

The client set of functions that are explained in the interface support both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing; however, the server set of functions support IPv4 addressing only.
