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:
36 -- All native ports, with restrictions as follows
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.
42 -- VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
44 -- This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports

55 package GNAT.Sockets is
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).
66 -- GNAT.Sockets has been designed with several ideas in mind
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.
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.
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).
83 -- The example below demonstrates various features of GNAT.Sockets:
85 -- with GNAT.Sockets; use GNAT.Sockets;
87 -- with Ada.Text_IO;
88 -- with Ada.Exceptions; use Ada.Exceptions;
