What is command to establish socket?
Please suggest me

[Ralph Grothe]

Are you talking about usage of the BSD Socket API?
Then client-wise it is a connect() call,
while server-wise a lingering accept().
See man socket et al.

There is no command to establish a socket, there are function calls( system calls)to create and operate on sockets. see the man pages of accept, listen, connect , recv , send

[Srimalik]

some book on unix network programing will help.

There is the nc (netcat) command if you just want to have a program that is listening on a socket. I guess it depends what you are trying to do.
