What is the difference between AF_INET and PF_INET in socket programming?

I'm confused between using AF_INET and PF_INET in socket() and bind().

Also, how to give ip-address in sin_addr field?

Checking the header file solve's the problem. One can check for there system compiler.

For my system , AF_INET == PF_INET

AF == Address Family And PF == Protocol Family

Protocol families, same as address families.
