=head1 NAME

Socket, sockaddr_in, sockaddr_un, inet_aton, inet_ntoa - load the C socket.h defines and structure manipulators 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Socket;

    $proto = getprotobyname('udp');
    socket(Socket_Handle, PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, $proto);
    $iaddr = gethostbyname('hishost.com');
    $port = getservbyname('time', 'udp');
    $sin = sockaddr_in($port, $iaddr);
    send(Socket_Handle, 0, 0, $sin);

    $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
    socket(Socket_Handle, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto);
    $port = getservbyname('smtp');
    $sin = sockaddr_in($port,inet_aton("127.1"));
    $sin = sockaddr_in(7,inet_aton("localhost"));
    $sin = sockaddr_in(7,INADDR_LOOPBACK);
    connect(Socket_Handle,$sin);

    ($port, $iaddr) = sockaddr_in(getpeername(Socket_Handle));
    $peer_host = gethostbyaddr($iaddr, AF_INET);
    $peer_addr = inet_ntoa($iaddr);

    $proto = getprotobyname('tcp');
    socket(Socket_Handle, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, $proto);
    unlink('/tmp/usock');
    $sun = sockaddr_un('/tmp/usock');
    connect(Socket_Handle,$sun);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is just a translation of the C F<socket.h> file.
Unlike the old mechanism of requiring a translated F<socket.ph>
file, this uses the B<h2xs> program (see the Perl source distribution)
and your native C compiler.  This means that it has a 
far more likely chance of getting the numbers right.  This includes
all of the commonly used pound-defines like AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, etc.

In addition, some structure manipulation functions are available:

=item inet_aton HOSTNAME

Takes a string giving the name of a host, and translates that
to the 4-byte string (structure). Takes arguments of both
the 'rtfm.mit.edu' type and '18.181.0.24'. If the host name
cannot be resolved, returns undef. For multi-homed hosts (hosts
with more than one address), the first address found is returned.

=item inet_ntoa IP_ADDRESS

Takes a four byte ip address (as returned by inet_aton())
and translates it into a string of the form 'd.d.d.d'
where the 'd's are numbers less than 256 (the normal
readable four dotted number notation for internet addresses).

=item INADDR_ANY

Note: does not return a number, but a packed string.

Returns the 4-byte wildcard ip address which specifies any
of the hosts ip addresses. (A particular machine can have
more than one ip address, each address corresponding to
a particular network interface. This wildcard address
allows you to bind to all of them simultaneously.)
Normally equivalent to inet_aton('0.0.0.0').

=item INADDR_BROADCAST

Note: does not return a number, but a packed string.

Returns the 4-byte 'this-lan' ip broadcast address.
This can be useful for some protocols to solicit information
from all servers on the same LAN cable.
Normally equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255').

=item INADDR_LOOPBACK

Note - does not return a number.

Returns the 4-byte loopback address. Normally equivalent
to inet_aton('localhost').

=item INADDR_NONE

Note - does not return a number.

Returns the 4-byte 'invalid' ip address. Normally equivalent
to inet_aton('255.255.255.255').

=item sockaddr_in PORT, ADDRESS

=item sockaddr_in SOCKADDR_IN

In an array context, unpacks its SOCKADDR_IN argument and returns an array
consisting of (PORT, ADDRESS).  In a scalar context, packs its (PORT,
ADDRESS) arguments as a SOCKADDR_IN and returns it.  If this is confusing,
use pack_sockaddr_in() and unpack_sockaddr_in() explicitly.

=item pack_sockaddr_in PORT, IP_ADDRESS

Takes two arguments, a port number and a 4 byte IP_ADDRESS (as returned by
inet_aton()). Returns the sockaddr_in structure with those arguments
packed in with AF_INET filled in.  For internet domain sockets, this
structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(),
connect(), and send(), and is also returned by getpeername(),
getsockname() and recv().

=item unpack_sockaddr_in SOCKADDR_IN

Takes a sockaddr_in structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_in()) and
returns an array of two elements: the port and the 4-byte ip-address.
Will croak if the structure does not have AF_INET in the right place.

=item sockaddr_un PATHNAME

=item sockaddr_un SOCKADDR_UN

In an array context, unpacks its SOCKADDR_UN argument and returns an array
consisting of (PATHNAME).  In a scalar context, packs its PATHNAME
arguments as a SOCKADDR_UN and returns it.  If this is confusing, use
pack_sockaddr_un() and unpack_sockaddr_un() explicitly.
These are only supported if your system has E<lt>F<sys/un.h>E<gt>.

=item pack_sockaddr_un PATH

Takes one argument, a pathname. Returns the sockaddr_un structure with
that path packed in with AF_UNIX filled in. For unix domain sockets, this
structure is normally what you need for the arguments in bind(),
connect(), and send(), and is also returned by getpeername(),
getsockname() and recv().

=item unpack_sockaddr_un SOCKADDR_UN

Takes a sockaddr_un structure (as returned by pack_sockaddr_un())
and returns the pathname.  Will croak if the structure does not
have AF_UNIX in the right place.
