sock_unregister9

Remove a protocol handler

Usage

void sock_unregister(int family);

Arguments

family

protocol family to remove

Overview

This function is called by a protocol handler that wants to remove its address family, and have it unlinked from the new socket creation.

If protocol handler is a module, then it can use module reference counts to protect against new references. If protocol handler is not a module then it needs to provide its own protection in the ops->create routine.
