ncad_addr(4)

NAME

     ncad_addr - name of the Solaris Network Cache and  Accelera-
     tor (NCA) socket utility library

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/ncad_addr.so

DESCRIPTION

     ncad_addr.so is the Solaris Network  Cache  and  Accelerator
     (NCA)  socket  utility  library. Use this library with a web
     server to avoid support for the PF_NCA family  type  socket.
     The web server can take advantage of NCA functionality.

     Interpose the ncad_addr interfaces before the interfaces  in
     libsocket  by setting the environment variable LD_PRELOAD to
     ncad_addr.so so that it is preloaded before  libsocket.so.1.
     The  ncad_addr.so  interfaces will be interposed only if NCA
     is enabled. See ncakmod(1).

EXAMPLES

     Example 1: Interposing ncad_addr

     Using Bourne shell syntax as an example, set  LD_PRELOAD  as
     shown  below  to  interpose  the  ncad_addr  socket  utility
     libary:

     LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/ncad_addr.so /usr/bin/httpd
