   <function>socket_read</function> returns the data as a string on success,

   connection). The error code can be retrieved with
   <function>socket_last_error</function>. This code may be passed to
   <function>socket_strerror</function> to get a textual representation of
   the error.

  <note>
   <para>
    <function>socket_read</function> returns a zero length string ("")
    when there is no more data to read.
