+--- Socket Object.

+module "nixio.Socket"
+
+--- Get the local address of a socket.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.getsockname
+-- @return	IP-Address
+-- @return	Port
+
+--- Get the peer address of a socket.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.getpeername
+-- @return	IP-Address
+-- @return	Port
+
+--- Bind the socket to a network address.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.bind
+-- @usage This function calls getaddrinfo() and bind() but NOT listen().
+-- @usage If <em>host</em> is a domain name it will be looked up and bind() 
+-- tries the IP-Addresses in the order returned by the DNS resolver
+-- until the bind succeeds. 
+-- @usage UNIX sockets ignore the <em>port</em>,
+-- and interpret <em>host</em> as a socket path.
+-- @param host	Host (optional, default: all addresses)
+-- @param port	Port or service description
+-- @return true
+
+--- Connect the socket to a network address.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.connect
+-- @usage This function calls getaddrinfo() and connect().
+-- @usage If <em>host</em> is a domain name it will be looked up and connect() 
+-- tries the IP-Addresses in the order returned by the DNS resolver
+-- until the connect succeeds. 
+-- @usage UNIX sockets ignore the <em>port</em>,
+-- and interpret <em>host</em> as a socket path.
+-- @param host	Hostname or IP-Address (optional, default: localhost)
+-- @param port	Port or service description
+-- @return true
+
+--- Listen for connections on the socket.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.listen
+-- @param	backlog	Length of queue for pending connections
+-- @return	true
+
+--- Accept a connection on the socket.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.accept
+-- @return	Socket Object
+-- @return	Peer IP-Address
+-- @return  Peer Port
+
+--- Send a message on the socket specifying the destination.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.sendto
+-- @usage <strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all data
+-- in the buffer is written at once.
+-- You have to check the return value - the number of bytes actually written -
+-- or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module.
+-- @usage Unlike standard Lua indexing the lowest offset and default is 0.
+-- @param buffer	Buffer holding the data to be written.
+-- @param host		Target IP-Address
+-- @param port		Target Port
+-- @param offset	Offset to start reading the buffer from. (optional)
+-- @param length	Length of chunk to read from the buffer. (optional)
+-- @return number of bytes written
+
+--- Send a message on the socket.
+-- This function is identical to sendto except for the missing destination
+-- paramters. See the sendto description for a detailed description.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.send
+-- @param buffer	Buffer holding the data to be written.
+-- @param offset	Offset to start reading the buffer from. (optional)
+-- @param length	Length of chunk to read from the buffer. (optional)
+-- @see	Socket.sendto
+-- @return number of bytes written

+
+--- Receive a message on the socket including the senders source address.
+-- @class function
+-- @name Socket.recvfrom
+-- @usage <strong>Warning:</strong> It is not guaranteed that all requested data
+-- is read at once.
+-- You have to check the return value - the length of the buffer actually read -
+-- or use the safe IO functions in the high-level IO utility module.
+-- @usage The length of the return buffer is limited by the (compile time) 
+-- nixio buffersize which is <em>nixio.const.buffersize</em> (8192 by default).
+-- Any read request greater than that will be safely truncated to this value.  
+-- @param length	Amount of data to read (in Bytes).
+-- @return buffer containing data successfully read
+-- @return host		IP-Address of the sender
+-- @return port		Port of the sender
+
+--- Receive a message on the socket.

+-- the sender's source address. See the recvfrom description for more details.
