Detailed Description

A class for operating on sockets in a platform-independent way.

In Windows, this class represents an underlying SOCKET pointer and in *nix, it represents a socket's file handle. This class provides convenience methods for sending and receiving data from the socket.

A typical (plaintext) command sent over a socket looks like this: TNK 0.5 0.5 where the first word indicates the command name and the other words are parameters.
