Ports are handled through the port built in functions. They are documented in the erlang manual page, the module BIFs are by default said to belong to. An interoperability tutorial is here: http://erlang.org/doc/tutorial/c_port.html

And a how to which should help you get it right the first time around is here:

I hope the above helps.

Francesco

I guess it is the module gen_tcp you're looking for (or gen_udp).

We did debate in the office if it was ports or sockets you were asking for. The gen_tcp manual page is here:
