*Standard POSIX names for Sockets API*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

By default, Sockets API function are prefixed with ``zsock_`` to avoid
namespacing issues. If this option is enabled, they will be provided
with standard POSIX names like socket(), recv(), and close(), to help
with porting existing code. Note that close() may require a special
attention, as in POSIX it closes any file descriptor, while with this
option enabled, it will still apply only to sockets.
