(** Extended network sockets interface. *)

(** {6 Overview}

    The Objective Caml [Unix] library contains a simplified interface for
    manipulating network sockets that is sufficient for most applications.
    This module and its cognates implement an alternative interface for using
    network sockets that offers the same extensibility as the Berkeley sockets
    interface does in the C language, while using the Objective Caml type
    system to enforce usage constraints.
*)

(** {6 Types} *)

(** The abstract type of socket type identifiers.  The type parameter is a
    shadow type attributed to the socket type identifier value.
*)
type 'st socktype

(** The abstract type of socket domain identifiers.  The type parameter is a
    shadow type attributed to the protocol/address family identifier value.
*)
type 'af domain

(** The abstract type of socket protocol identifiers. *)
type protocol

(** The abstract type of socket address structures.  Internally, these are
    represented as custom Objective Caml blocks of precisely the size of the
    underlying [struct sockaddr_xxx] structure.  The type parameter
    is a shadow type attributed to the address family identifier value.
*)
type 'af sockaddr

(** The abstract type of socket option identifiers.  The first type parameter
    is the type of values the socket option sets and gets.  The second type
    parameter is the shadow type used to constrain the use of the option to
    sockets of the appropriate protocol family.  The third type parameter is
    the shadow type used to constrain the use of the option to sockets of the
    appropriate socket type.
*)
type ('v,-'af,-'st) sockopt

(** The abstract type of socket descriptors.  The type parameters are the
    shadow types associated with the protocol/address family and the socket
    type of the socket, respectively.
*)
type ('af,'st) t

(** The record used to select the flags used with the [send] and [recv]
    functions (and their cognates).
*)
type msg_flags = {
    msg_oob: bool;          (** Message is out-of-band/expedited. *)
    msg_peek: bool;         (** Read message without dequeue. *)
    msg_dontroute: bool;    (** Use direct interface. *)
    msg_eor: bool;          (** End of record. *)
    msg_trunc: bool;        (** Message truncated in receive. *)
    msg_ctrunc: bool;       (** Control message truncated in receive. *)
    msg_waitall: bool;      (** Block until message completely received. *)
    msg_dontwait: bool;     (** Don't block. *)
    
    (**/**)
    
    (* __APPLE__ 
    msg_eof: bool;
    msg_flush: bool;
    msg_hold: bool;
    msg_send: bool;
    msg_havemore: bool;
    msg_rcvmore: bool;
    *)
}

(** {6 Modules and Module Types} *)

(** The module type used to define a socket address/protocol family. *)
module type AF = sig

    (** The shadow type *)
    type tag
    
    (** The concrete type of the socket address for the address family. *)
    type address
    
    (** The value of the socket domain identifier. *)
    val domain: tag domain

    (** Use [to_sockaddr a] to create an abstract socket address value
        corresponding to the address [a].
    *)
    val to_sockaddr: address -> tag sockaddr
    
    (** Use [of_sockaddr sa] to create an address corresponding to the abstract
        socket address value [sa].
    *)
    val of_sockaddr: tag sockaddr -> address
    
    (** The unspecified socket address, used for binding to arbitrary local
        endpoint addresses.
    *)
    val unspecified: tag sockaddr
end

(** The module type used to define a socket type. *)
module type ST = sig

val msg_flags_none: msg_flags

    Berkeley sockets API.  For a more convenient interface, consider using the
    object-oriented alternative, described in the next section.
