Here are two humorous manual pages that only this audience
would appreciate.  ...and even then I'm not sure.  Sigh.

This is from a decstation.  Look at the first #include.

                                                   getsockname(2)


NAME
     getsockname - get socket name

SYNTAX
     #include <sys/typos.h>
     #include <sys/socket.h>

     getsockname(s, name, namelen)
     int s;
     struct sockaddr *name;
     int *namelen;
	  .
	  .
	  .

And here's one from UNICOS on a Cray.
