{
  // = TITLE
  //     Contains value added ACE methods that extend the behavior
  //     of the UNIX and Win32 OS calls.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //     This class consolidates all these ACE static methods in a
  //     single place in order to manage the namespace better.  These
  //     methods are put here rather than in ACE_OS in order to
  //     separate concerns.

  ACE_CLASS_IS_NAMESPACE (ACE);
public:
  // Initialize ACE library services.  Can be called only once per
  // program invocation.
  static int init (void);
  // Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure, and 1 if it had already been called.

  // Shut down ACE library services.  Can be called only once per
  // program invocation.
  static int fini (void);
  // Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure, and 1 if it had already been called.

  // = ACE version information.
  static u_int major_version (void);
  // E.g., the "4" in ACE 4.3.19.

  static u_int minor_version (void);
  // E.g., the "3" in ACE 4.3.19.

  static u_int beta_version (void);
  // E.g., the "19" in ACE 4.3.19.  Returns 0 for "stable" (non-beta) releases.

  // = C++ compiler version information.
  static const ACE_TCHAR * compiler_name (void);
  // E.g., the "SunPro C++" in SunPro C++ 4.32.0

  static u_int compiler_major_version (void);
  // E.g., the "4" in SunPro C++ 4.32.0

  static u_int compiler_minor_version (void);
  // E.g., the "32" in SunPro C++ 4.32.0

  static u_int compiler_beta_version (void);
  // E.g., the "0" in SunPro C++ 4.32.0

  static int out_of_handles (int error);
  // Check if error indicates the process being out of handles (file
  // descriptors).

  // = I/O operations.

  // = Notes on common parameters:
  //
  // <handle> is the connected endpoint that will be used for I/O.
  //
  // <buf> is the buffer to write from or receive into.
  //
  // <len> is the number of bytes to transfer.
  //
  // The <timeout> parameter in the following methods indicates how
  // long to blocking trying to transfer data.  If <timeout> == 0,
  // then the call behaves as a normal send/recv call, i.e., for
  // blocking sockets, the call will block until action is possible;
  // for non-blocking sockets, EWOULDBLOCK will be returned if no
  // action is immediately possible.
  //
  // If <timeout> != 0, the call will wait until the relative time
  // specified in *<timeout> elapses.
  //
  // The "_n()" I/O methods keep looping until all the data has been
  // transferred.  These methods also work for sockets in non-blocking
  // mode i.e., they keep looping on EWOULDBLOCK.  <timeout> is used
  // to make sure we keep making progress, i.e., the same timeout
  // value is used for every I/O operation in the loop and the timeout
  // is not counted down.
  //
  // The return values for the "*_n()" methods match the return values
  // from the non "_n()" methods and are specified as follows:
  //
  // - On complete transfer, the number of bytes transferred is returned.
  // - On timeout, -1 is returned, errno == ETIME.
  // - On error, -1 is returned, errno is set to appropriate error.
  // - On EOF, 0 is returned, errno is irrelevant.
  //
  // On partial transfers, i.e., if any data is transferred before
  // timeout/error/EOF, <bytes_transferred> will contain the number of
  // bytes transferred.
  //
  // Methods with <iovec> parameter are I/O vector variants of the I/O
  // operations.
  //
  // Methods with the extra <flags> argument will always result in
  // <send> getting called. Methods without the extra <flags> argument
  // will result in <send> getting called on Win32 platforms, and
  // <write> getting called on non-Win32 platforms.
