API support z/OS Communications Server: IPv6 Network and Application Design Guide SC27-3663-00 |
|
This topic describes API support and contains the following subtopics: z/OS
provides a versatile and diverse set of socket API libraries to support
the various z/OS
application environments. Figure 1 illustrates
the relationship of the various z/OS socket
APIs and the level of IPv6 present for each API.
Figure 1. z/OS socket
APIs
The following environments are the two main socket API execution environments in z/OS:
There are several higher level C/C++ APIs that rely on the TCP/IP sockets for communications over an IP network, including the following APIs:
These APIs do not support IPv6 communications. Guideline: CICS® programs written to use the IP CICS C Sockets API must use the
TCP/IP C headers. Include the following definition to expose the required
IPv6 structures, macros, and definitions in the header files:
See z/OS Communications Server: IP CICS Sockets Guide for information about using the IP CICS C Sockets API. |
