#include <ClanLib/network.h>

Construction:

Constructs a null socket.

Attributes:

input	Input source that operates on the socket.
output	Output source that operates on the socket.
get_socket	Returns the raw socket handle (for use with the lowlevel socket functions).
get_max_msg_size	Returns the maximum size of a message for message-oriented socket types (CL_Socket::udp).
get_read_trigger	Returns an event trigger that triggers when socket has data ready to be read.
get_write_trigger	Returns an event trigger that triggers when socket is ready for additional data.
get_exception_trigger	Returns an event trigger that triggers when an exception occurs on the socket.
get_source_address	Returns the socket name.
get_dest_address	Returns the name of the destination socket we are connected to.
get_broadcast_addresses	Returns the list of broadcast addresses available to this socket. Works for UDP on IPv4 only.

Operations:

operator =	Copy operator.
set_nonblocking	Sets the socket blocking mode.
set_nodelay	If enabled, don't delay send to coalesce packets.
set_broadcasting	If enabled, do broadcasting. Works for UDP on IPv4 only
send	Writes data to socket. Returns the amount that was written.
push	Push data back into the received data buffer.
recv	Reads data from the socket. Returns the amount that was read.
connect	Initiate a connection on the socket.
shutdown	Shut down part of full-duplex connection.
bind	Bind the socket to the specified address.
listen	Listen for connections on the socket.
accept	Accept a connection on the socket.

Signals:

sig_read_triggered	This signal is invoked when the socket has data ready to be read.
sig_write_triggered	This signal is invoked when the socket has data ready to be written.
sig_exception_triggered	This signal is invoked when an exception occurred on the socket.
sig_disconnected	This signal is invoked when the remote side drops the connection, either through timeout or explicit shutdown
