The operation of the SAS/C socket library depends on its ability to access the configuration information for a site. In some cases, the socket library located the information automatically. In other cases, it may be necessary to specify the location of the information.

The location and usage of site configuration files are described in the SAS/C Library Reference, Volume 2, Release 7.00, Part 2, SAS/C Socket Library for TCP/IP, section "Network Administration".
