32 -- This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility

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
42 -- The VMS implementation was implemented using the DECC RTL Socket API,
43 -- and is thus subject to limitations in the implementation of this API.
45 -- VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
47 -- This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports

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