158 * This function is defined because of the different way errors are returned in UNIX

160 * (after a socket error occurred) on all the platforms.
162 * \param caller: a pointer to a user-allocated string which contains a message that has
163 * to be printed *before* the true error message. It could be, for example, 'this error
164 * comes from the recv() call at line 31'. It may be NULL.
166 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
167 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
168 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
170 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
171 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.

857 * This function basically copies 'size' bytes of data contained into 'buffer'
858 * into 'tempbuf', starting at offset 'offset'. Before that, it checks that the
859 * resulting buffer will not be larger than 'totsize'. Finally, it updates
860 * the 'offset' variable in order to point to the first empty location of the buffer.
862 * In case the function is called with 'checkonly' equal to 1, it does not copy
863 * the data into the buffer. It only checks for buffer overflows and it updates the
864 * 'offset' variable. This mode can be useful when the buffer already contains the
865 * data (maybe because the producer writes directly into the target buffer), so
866 * only the buffer overflow check has to be made.
867 * In this case, both 'buffer' and 'tempbuf' can be NULL values.
869 * This function is useful in case the userland application does not know immediately
870 * all the data it has to write into the socket. This function provides a way to create
871 * the "stream" step by step, appending the new data to the old one. Then, when all the
872 * data has been bufferized, the application can call the sock_send() function.

898 * is returned in the 'errbuf' variable. When the function returns, 'tempbuf' will

935 * In case the socket does not have enough data available, it cycles on the recv()

1503 * like bind(), connect(), accept(), and more) and it transforms its content into a 'human'
1504 * form. So, for instance, it is able to translate an hex address (stored in binary form) into
1505 * a standard IPv6 address like "::1".
1507 * The behavior of this function depends on the parameters we have in the 'Flags' variable, which
1508 * are the ones allowed in the standard getnameinfo() socket function.
1510 * \param sockaddr: a 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structure containing the address that
1511 * need to be translated from network form into the presentation form. This structure must be
1512 * zero-ed prior using it, and the address family field must be filled with the proper value.
1513 * The user must cast any 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structures to 'sockaddr_storage' before
1514 * calling this function.
1516 * \param address: it contains the address that will be returned by the function. This buffer
1517 * must be properly allocated by the user. The address can be either literal or numeric depending

1597 * \brief It translates an address from the 'presentation' form into the 'network' form.
1599 * This function basically replaces inet_pton(), which does not exist in Winsock because
1600 * the same result can be obtained by using the getaddrinfo().
1601 * An additional advantage is that 'Address' can be both a numeric address (e.g. '127.0.0.1',
1602 * like in inet_pton() ) and a literal name (e.g. 'localhost').
1604 * This function does the reverse job of sock_getascii_addrport().
1606 * \param address: a zero-terminated string which contains the name you have to
1607 * translate. The name can be either literal (e.g. 'localhost') or numeric (e.g. '::1').
1609 * \param sockaddr: a user-allocated sockaddr_storage structure which will contains the
1610 * 'network' form of the requested address.
1612 * \param addr_family: a constant which can assume the following values:
1613 * - 'AF_INET' if we want to ping an IPv4 host
1614 * - 'AF_INET6' if we want to ping an IPv6 host
1615 * - 'AF_UNSPEC' if we do not have preferences about the protocol used to ping the host
1617 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
1618 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
1619 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
1621 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
1622 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
1624 * \return '-1' if the translation succeeded, '-2' if there was some non critical error, '0'
1625 * otherwise. In case it fails, the content of the SockAddr variable remains unchanged.
1626 * A 'non critical error' can occur in case the 'Address' is a literal name, which can be mapped
1627 * to several network addresses (e.g. 'foo.bar.com' => '10.2.2.2' and '10.2.2.3'). In this case
1628 * the content of the SockAddr parameter will be the address corresponding to the first mapping.
1630 * \warning The sockaddr_storage structure MUST be allocated by the user.
