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.
