	45	.Ft int
	46	.Fn socketpair "int d" "int type" "int protocol" "int *sv"
	47	.Sh DESCRIPTION
	48	The
	49	.Fn socketpair
	50	call creates an unnamed pair of connected sockets in
	51	the specified domain
	52	.Fa d ,
	53	of the specified
	54	.Fa type ,
	55	and using the optionally specified
	56	.Fa protocol .
	57	The descriptors used in referencing the new sockets
	58	are returned in
	59	.Fa sv Ns [0]
	60	and
	61	.Fa sv Ns [1] .
	62	The two sockets are indistinguishable.
	63	.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
	64	A 0 is returned if the call succeeds, -1 if it fails.
	65	.Sh ERRORS
	66	The call succeeds unless:
	67	.Bl -tag -width Er
	68	.It Bq Er EMFILE
	69	Too many descriptors are in use by this process.
	70	.It Bq Er EAFNOSUPPORT
	71	The specified address family is not supported on this machine.
	72	.It Bq Er EPROTONOSUPPORT
	73	The specified protocol is not supported on this machine.
	74	.It Bq Er EOPNOSUPPORT
	75	The specified protocol does not support creation of socket pairs.
	76	.It Bq Er EFAULT
	77	The address
	78	.Fa sv
	79	does not specify a valid part of the
	80	process address space.
