32 The COMM Package

This chapter provides reference entries for the functions in the COMM package.

The COMM package provides the TCP/IP interface. TCP/IP sockets can be used to communicate between processes and machines and the mechanism allows LispWorks to connect to or implement a server. It also allows using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) processing in the socket.

The COMM package also provides the Asynchronous I/O API including UDP sockets.

An overview of this functionality is in TCP and UDP socket communication and SSL.

Before the interface can be used the module "comm" must be loaded using
