--  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.

--       The VMS implementation was implemented using the DECC RTL Socket API,

--       and is thus subject to limitations in the implementation of this API.

--     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

   --  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:
