---- Socket Object.
--- Supports IPv4, IPv6 and UNIX (POSIX only) families.
--- @cstyle instance
-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
-
---- Send a message on the socket (This is an alias for send).
--- See the sendto description for a detailed description.
--- @class function
--- @name Socket.write
--- @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.
--- This function is identical to recvfrom except that it does not return
--- the sender's source address. See the recvfrom description for more details.
--- @class function
--- @name Socket.recv
--- @param length Amount of data to read (in Bytes).
--- @see Socket.recvfrom
--- @return buffer containing data successfully read
-

--- @param blocking (boolean)
--- @return true
