All functions provided by the library are in the namespace "socket".
|
|
|
|
Functions such as send/receive/timeout/close etc do not exist in the
|
|
|
|
namespace. They are now only available as methods of the appropriate
|
|
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Object has been changed to become more uniform. First create an object for
|
|
|
|
a given domain/family and protocol. Then connect or bind if needed. Then
|
|
|
|
use IO functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All functions return a non-nil value as first return value if successful.

|
All functions return whatever could be retrieved followed by error message
|
|
|
|
in case of error. The best way to check for errors is to check for the
|
|
|
|
presence of an error message.

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socket.sleep and socket.time are now part of the library and are
