<fsummary>Accept a connection on a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Accept a connection on a socket.</p>
<p>This call is used with connection-based socket types
(stream or seqpacket). It extracs the first pending connection
request for the listen socket and returns the (newly) connected
socket.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name name="bind" arity="2"/>
<fsummary>Bind a name to a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Bind a name to a socket.</p>
<p>When a socket is created
(with <seealso marker="#open/2"><c>open</c></seealso>),
it has no address assigned to it. <c>bind</c> assigns the
address specified by the <c>Addr</c> argument.</p>
<p>The rules used for name binding vary between domains.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name name="close" arity="1"/>
<fsummary>Close a socket.</fsummary>

<p>Closes the socket.</p>

<fsummary>Initiate a connection on a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>This function connects the socket to the address
specied by the <c>Addr</c> argument.</p>

<fsummary>Get an option on a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Get an option on a socket.</p>
<p>What properties are valid depend on what kind of socket
it is (<c>domain</c>, <c>type</c> and <c>protocol</c>).</p>
<p>When specifying <c>Level</c> as an integer, and therefor
using "native mode", it is *currently* up to the caller to
know how to interpret the result.</p>
<note><p>Not all options are valid on all platforms. That is,
even if "we" support an option, that does not mean that the
underlying OS does.</p></note>

<fsummary>Create an endpoint for communication.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Creates an endpoint (socket) for communication.</p>
<p>For some <c>types</c> there is a default protocol, which will
be used if no protocol is specified: </p>
<list>
<item><p><c>stream</c>: <c>tcp</c></p></item>
<item><p><c>dgram</c>: <c>udp</c></p></item>
<item><p><c>seqpacket</c>: <c>sctp</c></p></item>
</list>
<p>The <c>Extra</c> argument is intended for "obscure" options.
Currently the only supported option is <c>netns</c>, which
is only supported on the linux platform.</p>
</desc>

<func>
<name name="recv" arity="2"/>

<fsummary>Receive a message from a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Receive a message from a socket.</p>
<p>There is a special case for the argument <c>Length</c>.
If it is set to zero (0), it means "give me everything you
currently have".</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name name="recvfrom" arity="1"/>
<name name="recvfrom" arity="2"/>
<name name="recvfrom" arity="3"/>
<name name="recvfrom" arity="4"/>
<fsummary>Receive a message from a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Receive a message from a socket.</p>
<p>This function reads "messages", which means that regardless of
how much we want to read, it returns when we get a message.</p>
<p>The <c>MaxSize</c> argument basically defines the size of the
receive buffer. By setting the value to zero (0), the configured
size (setopt) is used.</p>
<p>It may be impossible to know what (buffer) size is appropriate
"in advance", and in those cases it may be convenient to use the
(recv) 'peek' flag. When this flag is provided the message is *not*
"consumed" from the underlying buffers, so another recvfrom call
is needed, possibly with a then adjusted buffer size.</p>

<fsummary>Set options on a socket.</fsummary>
<desc>
<p>Set options on a socket.</p>
<p>What properties are valid depend both on <c>Level</c> and on
what kind of socket it is (<c>domain</c>, <c>type</c> and
<c>protocol</c>).</p>
<note><p>Not all options are valid on all platforms. That is,
even if "we" support an option, that does not mean that the
underlying OS does.</p></note>
<note><p>Sockets are set 'non-blocking' when created, so this option
is *not* available (as it would adversely effect the Erlang VM
to set a socket 'blocking').</p></note>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name name="shutdown" arity="2"/>
<fsummary>Shut down part of a full-duplex connection.</fsummary>

<p>Shut down all or part of a full-duplex connection.</p>
