OpenBSD 4.4.
@item
This header file is lacking the @code{SHUT_RD}, @code{SHUT_WR},
@code{SHUT_RDWR} macros on some platforms, despite having the @code{shutdown}

@item
This header file does not define the macro @code{MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}
on some platforms:
Solaris 11 OmniOS.
@item
Although POSIX.1-2024 standardized @code{SOCK_CLOFORK} and
@code{MSG_CMSG_CLOFORK}, no known platform supports them.
@item
