but not documented yet because they are not often used. <code>PF_NS</code>
refers to the Xerox Network Software protocols. <code>PF_ISO</code> stands
for Open Systems Interconnect. <code>PF_CCITT</code> refers to protocols from
CCITT. <samp><span class="file">socket.h</span></samp> defines these symbols and others naming protocols
not actually implemented.
<p><code>PF_IMPLINK</code> is used for communicating between hosts and Internet
Message Processors. For information on this and <code>PF_ROUTE</code>, an
occasionally-used local area routing protocol, see the GNU Hurd Manual
(to appear in the future).
