libc6 is your socket provider.

Maemo is linux under the hood no matter what the gui is or the weirdness
of some of the embedded stuff like busybox. Sockets are used like they
are on any other linux platform, or else you couldn't compile run
standard programs without modification. netcat is one such example.

As far as learning how to use sockets, that depends on your language.
If you don't know any well supported on maemo I suggest trying python.

I would look at source for existing projects for examples. Check out
curl for getting data from a web page. Standard socket calls are
available, I'm not sure which library provides them though.

Hey guys, how is socket programming done on the N800 / N810? What libraries
do you use and how is it done? Is there any examples somewhere that I can
learn from or a how-to article that any one knows of? I'd like to open an
outside connection to another computer and communicate with it using sockets
and also open a web page using sockets through a maemo application and
download information from that page. Thanks for any help.
