  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

  55 package 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).
