2 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. The TCP/IP mechanism allows LispWorks to connect to or implement a server. It also allows using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) processing in the socket.

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

(require "comm")
