I've read your post about a brief history select(2) and kind of tried to go down with archaeology as to how the BSD sockets API came to be the way it is (struct sockaddr before struct sockaddr_storage, connect and bind being separate states, read/write v. recv/send), but it's been very hard trying to get complete documentation on the evolution since the first BBN drafts. Food for extra thought I suppose; there's probably a lot of knowledge and trivia to be gleaned from the historical evolution of the interfaces, and I'd imagine you're in a better position to actually sink your fangs into this. Incidentally, your post is time travelling and claims being from Dec 6, 2019.
