+
+--     All native ports, with restrictions as follows
+
+--       Multicast is available only on systems which provide support for this
+--       feature, so it is not available if Multicast is not supported, or not
+--       installed.
+
+--     VxWorks cross ports fully implement this package
+
+--     This package is not yet implemented on LynxOS or other cross ports

+package GNAT.Sockets is
+
+   --  Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication facility
+   --  between applications. This package provides an Ada binding to the
+   --  de-facto standard BSD sockets API. The documentation below covers
+   --  only the specific binding provided by this package. It assumes that
+   --  the reader is already familiar with general network programming and
+   --  sockets usage. A useful reference on this matter is W. Richard Stevens'
+   --  "UNIX Network Programming: The Sockets Networking API"
+   --  (ISBN: 0131411551).
+
+   --  GNAT.Sockets has been designed with several ideas in mind
+
+   --  This is a system independent interface. Therefore, we try as much as
+   --  possible to mask system incompatibilities. Some functionalities are not
+   --  available because there are not fully supported on some systems.
+
+   --  This is a thick binding. For instance, a major effort has been done to
+   --  avoid using memory addresses or untyped ints. We preferred to define
+   --  streams and enumeration types. Errors are not returned as returned
+   --  values but as exceptions.
+
+   --  This package provides a POSIX-compliant interface (between two
+   --  different implementations of the same routine, we adopt the one closest
+   --  to the POSIX specification). For instance, using select(), the
+   --  notification of an asynchronous connect failure is delivered in the
+   --  write socket set (POSIX) instead of the exception socket set (NT).
+
+   --  The example below demonstrates various features of GNAT.Sockets:
