| connect() | NetSock_Conn() | NetApp_SockConn() | Connect a local socket to a remote socket address. |
| listen() | NetSock_Listen() | NetApp_SockListen() | Set a socket to accept incoming connections. |
| accept() | NetSock_Accept() | NetApp_SockAccept() | Wait for new socket connections on a listening server socket. |
| recv() / recvfrom() | NetSock_RxData() / NetSock_RxDataFrom() | NetApp_SockRx() | Copy up to a specified number of bytes received from a remote socket into an application memory buffer. |
| send() / sendto() | NetSock_TxData() / NetSock_TxDataTo() | NetApp_SockTx() | Copy bytes from an application memory buffer into a socket to send to a remote socket. |
| close() | NetSock_Close() | NetApp_SockConn() | Terminate communication and free a socket. |
| select() | NetSock_Sel() | N/A | Check if any sockets are ready for available read or write operations or error conditions. |
