   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    This macro figures out what libraries are required on this platform to link
    sockets programs.
   </p>
   <p>
    The common cases are not to need any extra libraries, or to need -lsocket
    and -lnsl. We need to avoid linking with libnsl unless we need it, though,
    since on some OSes where it isn't necessary it will totally break
    networking. Unisys also includes gethostbyname() in libsocket but needs
    libnsl for socket().
