32--  This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility
33--  provided on many operating systems. This is implemented on the following
34--  platforms:
35
36--     All native ports, with restrictions as follows
37
38--       Multicast is available only on systems which provide support for this
39--       feature, so it is not available if Multicast is not supported, or not
40--       installed.
41
42--     VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
43
44--     This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports

56package GNAT.Sockets is
57
58   --  Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication facility
59   --  between applications. This package provides an Ada binding to the
60   --  de-facto standard BSD sockets API. The documentation below covers
61   --  only the specific binding provided by this package. It assumes that
62   --  the reader is already familiar with general network programming and
63   --  sockets usage. A useful reference on this matter is W. Richard Stevens'
64   --  "UNIX Network Programming: The Sockets Networking API"
65   --  (ISBN: 0131411551).
66
67   --  GNAT.Sockets has been designed with several ideas in mind
68
69   --  This is a system independent interface. Therefore, we try as much as
70   --  possible to mask system incompatibilities. Some functionalities are not
71   --  available because there are not fully supported on some systems.
72
73   --  This is a thick binding. For instance, a major effort has been done to
74   --  avoid using memory addresses or untyped ints. We preferred to define
75   --  streams and enumeration types. Errors are not returned as returned
76   --  values but as exceptions.
77
78   --  This package provides a POSIX-compliant interface (between two
79   --  different implementations of the same routine, we adopt the one closest
80   --  to the POSIX specification). For instance, using select(), the
81   --  notification of an asynchronous connect failure is delivered in the
82   --  write socket set (POSIX) instead of the exception socket set (NT).
83
84   --  The example below demonstrates various features of GNAT.Sockets:
85
