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

55package GNAT.Sockets is
56
57   --  Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication facility
58   --  between applications. This package provides an Ada binding to the
59   --  de-facto standard BSD sockets API. The documentation below covers
60   --  only the specific binding provided by this package. It assumes that
61   --  the reader is already familiar with general network programming and
62   --  sockets usage. A useful reference on this matter is W. Richard Stevens'
63   --  "UNIX Network Programming: The Sockets Networking API"
64   --  (ISBN: 0131411551).
65
66   --  GNAT.Sockets has been designed with several ideas in mind
67
68   --  This is a system independent interface. Therefore, we try as much as
69   --  possible to mask system incompatibilities. Some functionalities are not
70   --  available because there are not fully supported on some systems.
71
72   --  This is a thick binding. For instance, a major effort has been done to
73   --  avoid using memory addresses or untyped ints. We preferred to define
74   --  streams and enumeration types. Errors are not returned as returned
75   --  values but as exceptions.
76
77   --  This package provides a POSIX-compliant interface (between two
78   --  different implementations of the same routine, we adopt the one closest
79   --  to the POSIX specification). For instance, using select(), the
80   --  notification of an asynchronous connect failure is delivered in the
81   --  write socket set (POSIX) instead of the exception socket set (NT).
82
83   --  The example below demonstrates various features of GNAT.Sockets:
84
85   --  with GNAT.Sockets; use GNAT.Sockets;
86
87   --  with Ada.Text_IO;
