NAME
       struct sock_common - minimal network layer representation of sockets


SYNOPSIS
       struct sock_common {
         unsigned short skc_family;
         volatile unsigned char skc_state;
         unsigned char skc_reuse;
         int skc_bound_dev_if;
         struct hlist_node skc_node;
         struct hlist_node skc_bind_node;
         atomic_t skc_refcnt;
         unsigned int skc_hash;
         struct proto * skc_prot;
       };


MEMBERS
       skc_family
              network address family

       skc_state
              Connection state

       skc_reuse
               SO_REUSEADDR setting

       skc_bound_dev_if
              bound device index if != 0

       skc_node
              main hash linkage for various protocol lookup tables

       skc_bind_node
              bind hash linkage for various protocol lookup tables

       skc_refcnt
              reference count

       skc_hash

DESCRIPTION
       This is the minimal network layer representation of sockets, the header
       for struct sock and struct inet_timewait_sock.
