-- This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility
-- provided on many operating systems. This is implemented on the following
-- platforms:
-- All native ports, with restrictions as follows
-- Multicast is available only on systems which provide support for this
-- feature, so it is not available if Multicast is not supported, or not
-- installed.
-- VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
-- This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports

package GNAT.Sockets is
-- Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication facility
-- between applications. This package provides an Ada binding to the
-- de-facto standard BSD sockets API. The documentation below covers
-- only the specific binding provided by this package. It assumes that
-- the reader is already familiar with general network programming and
-- sockets usage. A useful reference on this matter is W. Richard Stevens'
-- "UNIX Network Programming: The Sockets Networking API"
-- (ISBN: 0131411551).
-- GNAT.Sockets has been designed with several ideas in mind
-- This is a system independent interface. Therefore, we try as much as
-- possible to mask system incompatibilities. Some functionalities are not
-- available because there are not fully supported on some systems.
-- This is a thick binding. For instance, a major effort has been done to
-- avoid using memory addresses or untyped ints. We preferred to define
-- streams and enumeration types. Errors are not returned as returned
-- values but as exceptions.
-- This package provides a POSIX-compliant interface (between two
-- different implementations of the same routine, we adopt the one closest
-- to the POSIX specification). For instance, using select(), the
-- notification of an asynchronous connect failure is delivered in the
-- write socket set (POSIX) instead of the exception socket set (NT).
-- The example below demonstrates various features of GNAT.Sockets:

-- abort of a blocked Check_Selector call. A special socket is opened by
-- Create_Selector and included in each call to Check_Selector.
