106 * \brief It retrieves the error message after an error occurred in the socket interface.
108 * This function is defined because of the different way errors are returned in UNIX
109 * and Win32. This function provides a consistent way to retrieve the error message
110 * (after a socket error occurred) on all the platforms.
112 * \param caller: a pointer to a user-allocated string which contains a message that has
113 * to be printed *before* the true error message. It could be, for example, 'this error
114 * comes from the recv() call at line 31'. It may be NULL.
116 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
117 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
118 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
120 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
121 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
123 * \return No return values. The error message is returned in the 'string' parameter.

605 * only the buffer overflow check has to be made.
606 * In this case, both 'buffer' and 'tempbuf' can be NULL values.
608 * This function is useful in case the userland application does not know immediately
609 * all the data it has to write into the socket. This function provides a way to create
610 * the "stream" step by step, appending the new data to the old one. Then, when all the

1073 * form. So, for instance, it is able to translate an hex address (stored in binary form) into
1074 * a standard IPv6 address like "::1".
1076 * The behavior of this function depends on the parameters we have in the 'Flags' variable, which
