109 * (after a socket error occurred) on all the platforms.

112 * to be printed *before* the true error message. It could be, for example, 'this error
113 * comes from the recv() call at line 31'. It may be NULL.
115 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
116 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
117 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
119 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
120 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.

600 * In case the function is called with 'checkonly' equal to 1, it does not copy
601 * the data into the buffer. It only checks for buffer overflows and it updates the
602 * 'offset' variable. This mode can be useful when the buffer already contains the
603 * data (maybe because the producer writes directly into the target buffer), so
604 * only the buffer overflow check has to be made.
605 * In this case, both 'buffer' and 'tempbuf' can be NULL values.
607 * This function is useful in case the userland application does not know immediately
608 * all the data it has to write into the socket. This function provides a way to create
609 * the "stream" step by step, appending the new data to the old one. Then, when all the
610 * data has been bufferized, the application can call the sock_send() function.
612 * \param buffer: a char pointer to a user-allocated buffer that keeps the data
613 * that has to be copied.

620 * \param offset: an index into 'tempbuf' which keeps the location of its first
623 * \param totsize: total size of the buffer in which data is being copied.
625 * \param checkonly: '1' if we do not want to copy data into the buffer and we
626 * want just do a buffer ovreflow control, '0' if data has to be copied as well.
628 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
629 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.

632 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
633 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
635 * \return '0' if everything is fine, '-1' if some errors occurred. The error message
636 * is returned in the 'errbuf' variable. When the function returns, 'tempbuf' will
637 * have the new string appended, and 'offset' will keep the length of that buffer.
638 * In case of 'checkonly == 1', data is not copied, but 'offset' is updated in any case.
640 * \warning This function assumes that the buffer in which data has to be stored is
641 * large 'totbuf' bytes.

783 * data before reading a new message.
785 * This function will read 'size' bytes from the socket and discard them.

787 * this buffer is not large enough, it will cycle in order to read everything as well.

797 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be

1061 * This function is basically an extended version of the inet_ntop(), which does not exist in
1062 * Winsock because the same result can be obtained by using the getnameinfo().
1063 * However, differently from inet_ntop(), this function is able to return also literal names
1064 * (e.g. 'localhost') dependently from the 'Flags' parameter.
1066 * The function accepts a sockaddr_storage variable (which can be returned by several functions
1067 * like bind(), connect(), accept(), and more) and it transforms its content into a 'human'
1068 * form. So, for instance, it is able to translate an hex address (stored in binary form) into
1069 * a standard IPv6 address like "::1".
1071 * The behavior of this function depends on the parameters we have in the 'Flags' variable, which
1072 * are the ones allowed in the standard getnameinfo() socket function.
1074 * \param sockaddr: a 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structure containing the address that
1075 * need to be translated from network form into the presentation form. This structure must be
1076 * zero-ed prior using it, and the address family field must be filled with the proper value.
1077 * The user must cast any 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structures to 'sockaddr_storage' before
1078 * calling this function.
1080 * \param address: it contains the address that will be returned by the function. This buffer
1081 * must be properly allocated by the user. The address can be either literal or numeric depending
1082 * on the value of 'Flags'.
1084 * \param addrlen: the length of the 'address' buffer.
1086 * \param port: it contains the port that will be returned by the function. This buffer
1087 * must be properly allocated by the user.
1089 * \param portlen: the length of the 'port' buffer.
1091 * \param flags: a set of flags (the ones defined into the getnameinfo() standard socket function)
1092 * that determine if the resulting address must be in numeric / literal form, and so on.
1094 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
1095 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
1096 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
1098 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
1099 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
1101 * \return It returns '-1' if this function succeeds, '0' otherwise.
1102 * The address and port corresponding to the given SockAddr are returned back in the buffers 'address'
1104 * In any case, the returned strings are '0' terminated.

1190 * A 'non critical error' can occur in case the 'Address' is a literal name, which can be mapped
1191 * to several network addresses (e.g. 'foo.bar.com' => '10.2.2.2' and '10.2.2.3'). In this case
1192 * the content of the SockAddr parameter will be the address corresponding to the first mapping.
