Detailed Description

A system for making use of BSD sockets.

Sockets are endpoints for communication and are very useful for interprocess communication and for communication between different hosts. In the ObjectiveLib model a server socket listens for connections from client sockets, and when a connection is made a new generic socket is returned by the server socket through which communication can be performed using streams.
