Network System Calls

Network system calls are specialized commands that an operating system uses to manage and facilitate network communication for applications. They enable programs to send and receive data over the internet or other networks, establish connections, and configure network settings. Essentially, these system calls act as an interface between applications and the underlying network hardware and protocols, ensuring data is transmitted securely and efficiently. Examples include creating a connection, sending data, or closing a connection, allowing applications to communicate seamlessly across different devices and networks.
