[SunHELP] Basic port programming

[Anthony J. Gabrielson]

Thanks for the help - that fixed 2 of the problems.  I went looking
through the man page to see where you saw that, and I just didn't see
it.  I'm down to one error - do you know what I need to link against for
this error:

gcc -Xlinker /usr/lib/libsocket.so /usr/lib/libnsl.so getip.c
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
herror                              /var/tmp/ccJtpzXZ.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Also is there a way to automate this.  Linux doesn't make me spec out the
link like this and I would prefer it if solaris was like that as well.

Thanks,
Anthony
