=head1 NAME
Socket - load the C socket.h defines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Socket;
$proto = (getprotobyname('udp'))[2];
socket(Socket_Handle, PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, $proto);
=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.
=head1 NOTE
Only C<#define> symbols get translated; you must still correctly
pack up your own arguments to pass to bind(), etc.
