Enums

These constants specify the protocol family to be used in socket and socketpair
A type-safe zero-copy wrapper around a single control message, as used wih sendmsg. More types may be added to this enum; do not exhaustively pattern-match it.
A type-safe wrapper around a single control message, as used with recvmsg.
Represents a socket address

Functions

Accept a connection on a socket

Get the address of the peer connected to the socket fd.
Get the current address to which the socket fd is bound.
Get the current value for the requested socket option
Listen for connections on a socket
Receive data from a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
Receive data from a connectionless or connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read and, for connectionless sockets, the socket address of the sender.
Receive message in scatter-gather vectors from a socket, and optionally receive ancillary data into the provided buffer. If no ancillary data is desired, use () as the type parameter.
Send data to a connection-oriented socket. Returns the number of bytes read
Send data in scatter-gather vectors to a socket, possibly accompanied by ancillary data. Optionally direct the message at the given address, as with sendto.

Sets the value for the requested socket option
Shut down part of a full-duplex connection.
