/* Socket module */

/*
This module provides an interface to Berkeley socket IPC.

Limitations:

- only AF_INET and AF_UNIX address families are supported
- no asynchronous I/O (but read polling: avail)
- no read/write operations (use send/recv or makefile instead)
- no flags on sendto/recvfrom operations
- setsockopt() and getsockopt() only support integer options

Interface:

- socket.gethostname() --> host name (string)
- socket.gethostbyname(hostname) --> host IP address (string: 'dd.dd.dd.dd')
- socket.getservbyname(servername, protocolname) --> port number
- socket.socket(family, type [, proto]) --> new socket object
- family and type constants from <socket.h> are accessed as socket.AF_INET etc.
- errors are reported as the exception socket.error
- an Internet socket address is a pair (hostname, port)
  where hostname can be anything recognized by gethostbyname()
  (including the dd.dd.dd.dd notation) and port is in host byte order
- where a hostname is returned, the dd.dd.dd.dd notation is used
- a UNIX domain socket is a string specifying the pathname

Socket methods:

- s.accept() --> new socket object, sockaddr
- s.avail() --> boolean
- s.setsockopt(level, optname, flag) --> None
- s.getsockopt(level, optname) --> flag
- s.bind(sockaddr) --> None
- s.connect(sockaddr) --> None
- s.getsockname() --> sockaddr
- s.getpeername() --> sockaddr
- s.listen(n) --> None
- s.makefile(mode) --> file object
- s.recv(nbytes) --> string
- s.recvfrom(nbytes) --> string, sockaddr
- s.send(string) --> None
- s.sendto(string, sockaddr) --> None
- s.shutdown(how) --> None
- s.close() --> None
