For example, the Linux socket(2) man page mentions only > AF_xxx, not PF_xxx. Just for the record, the Linux man pages[1] were improved to use PF_*. socket(2) contains an interesting note now: The manifest constants used under BSD 4.* for protocol families are PF_UNIX, PF_INET, etc., while AF_UNIX etc. are used for address families. However, already the BSD man page promises: "The protocol family generally is the same as the address family", and subsequent standards use AF_* everywhere.
