BSD Sockets

BSD Sockets are a standardized way for computer programs to communicate over a network, such as the internet. Think of them as doorways that allow different programs on different devices to exchange data reliably. They provide a common interface for establishing connections, sending, and receiving information between systems, regardless of the hardware or operating system involved. BSD Sockets are fundamental to many network services like web browsing, email, and file transfers, enabling devices to work together seamlessly across diverse networks.
