Function
[Socket]

The function performs the necessary initializations for the socket library through the following steps:

• A check made by the global variable gbSocketInit, ensuring that initialization for sockets is performed only once, in-order to prevent reseting the socket instances already created in the global socket array (gastrSockets).

Register two callback functions one for asynchronous socket events and the other one for DNS callback registering function.

Synchronous socket allocation function based on the specified socket type.

Asynchronous bind function associates the provided address and local port to the socket.

After successful socket binding to an IP address and port on the system, start listening on a passive socket for incoming connections.

The function has no current implementation.

Establishes a TCP connection with a remote server.

An asynchronous receive function, used to retrieve data from a TCP stream.

Receives data from a UDP Socket.

Asynchronous sending function, used to send data on a TCP/UDP socket.

Asynchronous sending function, used to send data on a UDP socket.

Synchronous close function, releases all the socket assigned resources.

Synchronous function which returns a BSD socket compliant Internet Protocol (IPv4) socket address.

Asynchronous DNS resolving function.

Configure the behavior of the SSL Library for Certificate Expiry Validation.

The setsockopt() function shall set the option specified by the option_name argument, at the protocol level specified by the level argument, to the value pointed to by the option_value argument for the socket specified by the socket argument.

Get socket options retrieves This Function isn't implemented yet but this is the form that will be released later.

The function sends ping request to the given IP Address.
