class Socket

Creates a new unconnected socket.

A custom value that can be associated with the socket. Can be used to retrieve your custom infos after a select.

The stream on which you can read available data. By default the stream is blocking until the requested data is available, use setBlocking(false) or setTimeout to prevent infinite waiting.

The stream on which you can send data. Please note that in case the output buffer you will block while writing the data, use setBlocking(false) or setTimeout to prevent that.

Accept a new connected client. This will return a connected socket on which you can read/write some data.

Bind the socket to the given host/port so it can afterwards listen for connections there.

Closes the socket : make sure to properly close all your sockets or you will crash when you run out of file descriptors.

Connect to the given server host/port. Throw an exception in case we couldn't successfully connect.

Return the information about our side of a connected socket.

Allow the socket to listen for incoming questions. The parameter tells how many pending connections we can have until they get refused. Use accept() to accept incoming connections.

Return the information about the other side of a connected socket.

Read the whole data available on the socket.

Change the blocking mode of the socket. A blocking socket is the default behavior. A non-blocking socket will abort blocking operations immediately by throwing a haxe.io.Error.Blocking value.

Allows the socket to immediately send the data when written to its output : this will cause less ping but might increase the number of packets / data size, especially when doing a lot of small writes.

Gives a timeout after which blocking socket operations (such as reading and writing) will abort and throw an exception.

Shutdown the socket, either for reading or writing.

Block until some data is available for read on the socket.

Write the whole data to the socket output.

Wait until one of the sockets groups is ready for the given operation : - readcontains sockets on which we want to wait for available data to be read, - write contains sockets on which we want to wait until we are allowed to write some data to their output buffers, - others contains sockets on which we want to wait for exceptional conditions. - select will block until one of the condition is met, in which case it will return the sockets for which the condition was true.

	In case a `timeout` (in seconds) is specified, select might wait at worse until the timeout expires.
