34 -- This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility
35 -- provided on many operating systems. This is implemented on the following
38 -- All native ports, with restrictions as follows
40 -- Multicast is available only on systems which provide support for this
41 -- feature, so it is not available if Multicast is not supported, or not
44 -- The VMS implementation was implemented using the DECC RTL Socket API,
45 -- and is thus subject to limitations in the implementation of this API.
47 -- VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
49 -- This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports

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