This module provides access to the BSD \emph{socket} interface.
It is available on \UNIX{} systems that support this interface.
It is available on all modern \UNIX{} systems, Windows, MacOS, BeOS,
OS/2, and probably additional platforms.
For an introduction to socket programming (in C), see the following
papers: \citetitle{An Introductory 4.3BSD Interprocess Communication
Tutorial}, by Stuart Sechrest and \citetitle{An Advanced 4.3BSD
Interprocess Communication Tutorial}, by Samuel J. Leffler et al,
both in the \citetitle{\UNIX{} Programmer's Manual, Supplementary Documents 1}
(sections PS1:7 and PS1:8). The \UNIX{} manual pages for the various
socket-related system calls are also a valuable source of information
on the details of socket semantics.
(sections PS1:7 and PS1:8). The platform-specific reference material
for the various socket-related system calls are also a valuable source
of information on the details of socket semantics. For \UNIX, refer
to the manual pages; for Windows, see the WinSock (or Winsock 2)
specification.
The Python interface is a straightforward transliteration of the
\UNIX{} system call and library interface for sockets to Python's
