## This module implements a high-level cross-platform sockets interface.
## The procedures implemented in this module are primarily for blocking sockets.
## For asynchronous non-blocking sockets use the `asyncnet` module together
## with the `asyncdispatch` module.
##
## The first thing you will always need to do in order to start using sockets,
## is to create a new instance of the `Socket` type using the `newSocket`
## procedure.
##
## SSL
## ====
##
## In order to use the SSL procedures defined in this module, you will need to
## compile your application with the `-d:ssl` flag. See the
## `newContext<net.html#newContext%2Cstring%2Cstring%2Cstring%2Cstring>`_
## procedure for additional details.
##
##
## SSL on Windows
## ==============
##
## On Windows the SSL library checks for valid certificates.
## It uses the `cacert.pem` file for this purpose which was extracted
## from `https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem`. Besides
## the OpenSSL DLLs (e.g. libssl-1_1-x64.dll, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll) you
## also need to ship `cacert.pem` with your `.exe` file.
##
##
## Examples
## ========
##
## Connecting to a server
## ----------------------
##
## After you create a socket with the `newSocket` procedure, you can easily
## connect it to a server running at a known hostname (or IP address) and port.
## To do so over TCP, use the example below.

runnableExamples("-r:off"):
  let socket = newSocket()
  socket.connect("google.com", Port(80))

## For SSL, use the following example:

runnableExamples("-r:off -d:ssl"):
  let socket = newSocket()
  let ctx = newContext()
  wrapSocket(ctx, socket)
  socket.connect("google.com", Port(443))

## UDP is a connectionless protocol, so UDP sockets don't have to explicitly
## call the `connect <net.html#connect%2CSocket%2Cstring>`_ procedure. They can
## simply start sending data immediately.

runnableExamples("-r:off"):
  let socket = newSocket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP)
  socket.sendTo("192.168.0.1", Port(27960), "status\n")

runnableExamples("-r:off"):
  let socket = newSocket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP)
  let ip = parseIpAddress("192.168.0.1")
  doAssert socket.sendTo(ip, Port(27960), "status\c\l") == 8

## Creating a server
## -----------------
##
## After you create a socket with the `newSocket` procedure, you can create a
## TCP server by calling the `bindAddr` and `listen` procedures.

runnableExamples("-r:off"):
  let socket = newSocket()
  socket.bindAddr(Port(1234))
  socket.listen()

  # You can then begin accepting connections using the `accept` procedure.
  var client: Socket
  var address = ""
  while true:
    socket.acceptAddr(client, address)
    echo "Client connected from: ", address
