package GNAT.Sockets is
-- Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication facility
-- between applications. This package provides an Ada-like interface
-- similar to that proposed as part of the BSD socket layer. This is a
-- system independent thick binding.
-- Here is a typical example of what you can do:
-- with GNAT.Sockets; use GNAT.Sockets;
--
-- with Ada.Text_IO;
-- with Ada.Exceptions; use Ada.Exceptions;
--
-- procedure PingPong is
--
-- Group : constant String := "239.255.128.128";

--

--
-- -- Get a socket address that is an Internet address and a port
--
-- Address.Port := 5432;
--
-- -- The first step is to create a socket. Once created, this
-- -- socket must be associated to with an address. Usually only
-- -- a server (Pong here) needs to bind an address explicitly.
-- -- Most of the time clients can skip this step because the
