 * doc:
 * @ctindex PF_INET
 * @ctindex AF_INET
 * @ctindex SOCK_STREAM
 * @ctindex SOCK_DGRAM
 *   This procedure initializes a new socket object by reserving a file

 *   older versions of this library, @code{AF_INET} is still accepted as
 *   a value but should be replaced as soon as possible with the proper
