Thanks. There's one thing I don't understand: What's an "address"?
Like in

/* Create an address from a sockaddr.  */
routine socket_create_address (
        server: mach_port_t;    /* Can be either pf_t or socket_t.  */
        sockaddr_type: int;
        sockaddr: data_t SCP;
        out addr: mach_port_send_t);

/* Create an address without any sockaddr.  */
routine socket_fabricate_address (
        server: mach_port_t;    /* Can be either pf_t or socket_t.  */
        sockaddr_type: int;
        out addr: mach_port_send_t);

I hope Thomas or Roland can enlighten us.
