-- This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility
-- provided on many operating systems. This is implemented on the following
-- platforms:
-- All native ports, with restrictions as follows
-- Multicast is available only on systems which provide support for this
-- feature, so it is not available if Multicast is not supported, or not
-- installed. In particular Multicast is not available with the Windows
-- version.
-- The VMS implementation has implemented using the DECC RTL Socket API,
-- and is thus subject to limitations in the implementation of this API.
-- VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
-- This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports
with Ada.Exceptions;
with Ada.Streams;
with Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation;
with System;
package GNAT.Sockets is
-- Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication facility
-- between applications. This package provides an Ada-like interface
-- similar to that proposed as part of the BSD socket layer.
-- GNAT.Sockets has been designed with several ideas in mind
-- This is a system independent interface. Therefore, we try as much as
-- possible to mask system incompatibilities. Some functionalities are not
-- available because there are not fully supported on some systems.
-- This is a thick binding. For instance, a major effort has been done to
-- avoid using memory addresses or untyped ints. We preferred to define
-- streams and enumeration types. Errors are not returned as returned
-- values but as exceptions.
-- This package provides a POSIX-compliant interface (between two
-- different implementations of the same routine, we adopt the one closest
-- to the POSIX specification). For instance, using select(), the
-- notification of an asynchronous connect failure is delivered in the
-- write socket set (POSIX) instead of the exception socket set (NT).
-- Here is a typical example of what you can do:
-- with GNAT.Sockets; use GNAT.Sockets;
-- with Ada.Text_IO;
-- with Ada.Exceptions; use Ada.Exceptions;

-- The select(2) system call waits for events to occur on any of a set of
-- file descriptors. Usually, three independent sets of descriptors are
-- watched (read, write and exception). A timeout gives an upper bound
-- on the amount of time elapsed before select returns. This function
-- blocks until an event occurs. On some platforms, the select(2) system
-- can block the full process (not just the calling thread).
--
-- Check_Selector provides the very same behaviour. The only difference is
-- that it does not watch for exception events. Note that on some
-- platforms it is kept process blocking on purpose. The timeout parameter
-- allows the user to have the behaviour he wants. Abort_Selector allows
-- to abort safely a Check_Selector that is blocked forever. A special
-- file descriptor is opened by Create_Selector and included in each call
-- to Check_Selector. Abort_Selector causes an event to occur on this
-- descriptor in order to unblock Check_Selector. The user must call
-- Close_Selector to discard this special file. A reason to abort a select
-- operation is typically to add a socket in one of the socket sets when
-- the timeout is set to forever.

-- ready after a Timeout expiration. Status is set to Aborted if an abort
-- signal has been received while checking socket status. As this
-- procedure returns when Timeout occurs, it is a design choice to keep
-- this procedure process blocking. Note that a Timeout of 0.0 returns
-- immediately. Also note that two different Socket_Set_Type objects must
-- be passed as R_Socket_Set and W_Socket_Set (even if they denote the
-- same set of Sockets), or some event may be lost.
