Detailed Description

A network Socket descriptor.

This class will be expanded to include Socket-specific I/O methods.

Public Types
enum	flags { none = 0, nonblocking = 1, acceptor = 2 }
Public Methods
	Socket ()
	Null constructor.
	Socket (const IOHandle &ioh)
	Constructs a Socket from a given IOHandle.
Status	stat ()
	Updates the Socket error state if there's no current error (useful after a connect).
Address	getpeername ()
	Returns the peer name of the Socket, if any.
Address	getsockname ()
	Returns the local name of the Socket, if any.
Status	bind (const Address &a)
	Attempts to bind the Socket.
Status	connect (const Address &a)
	Attempts to connect the Socket.
Status	listen (int backlog=5)
	Listens on the Socket.
Socket	accept (Address &a)
	Attempts to accept a connection on the Socket.
Static Public Methods
int	sys_socket (int a, int b, int c)
Protected Methods
	Socket (int fd)
	Socket (int family, int type)
	Socket (int family, int type, Address addr, flags f=none)
