There seems to be a curious difference between MacOS and
Linux and I am not sure if this is documented. When you
break a "connection" on Mac OS, you only eliminate the peer
association, but the local address remains bound. On Linux,
breaking a "connection" eliminates the binding to the local
address. Have you guys ever come accross this?
Another irritating difference is that connect() returns the
error EAFNOSUPPORT on Mac OS. I am going to ignore all
errors when the reason for calling connect() is simply to
break the "connection".
This avoid socket.lua duplicating the iteration over the results
of getaddrinfo(). Some problems with the C implementation not
initializing sockets or the luasocket family have also been fixed,
and error reporting made more robust.
- Added IPv6 support to getsockname
- Simplified getpeername implementation
- Added family to return of getsockname and getpeername
and added modification to the manual to describe
