/**
- Connect to the socket driver
+ Connect to the EFI socket library
- @param [in] ppSocketProtocol Address to receive the socket protocol address
+ This routine establishes a connection to the socket driver
+ and returns the API (::EFI_SOCKET_PROTOCOL address) to the
+ socket file system layer in BsdSocketLib. This routine looks for
+ the gEfiSocketServiceBindingProtocolGuid to locate the socket
+ driver. This routine then creates a child handle and locates
+ the gEfiSocketProtocolGuid protocol on that handle to get the
+ ::EFI_SOCKET_PROTOCOL structure address.
+
+ This routine is called from the ::socket routine in BsdSocketLib
+ to create the data structure and initialize the API for a socket.
+ Note that this implementation is only used by socket applications
+ that link directly to UseSocketDxe.
+
+ @param [in] ppSocketProtocol Address to receive the ::EFI_SOCKET_PROTOCOL
+ structure address
+
+ @return Value for ::errno, zero (0) indicates success.
- @retval 0 Successfully returned the socket protocol
- @retval other Value for errno
