35 -- This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility
36 -- provided on many operating systems. Currently this is implemented on all
37 -- native GNAT ports except for VMS. It is not yet implemented for any of
38 -- the cross-ports (e.g. it is not available for VxWorks or LynxOS).
39 -- Another restriction is that there is no multicast support under Windows
40 -- or under any system on which the multicast support is not available or

48 -- Sockets are designed to provide a consistent communication
49 -- facility between applications. This package provides an
