Class Netchannels.socket_descrSource

Creates a raw_io_channel for the passed socket descriptor, which must * be open for reading and writing, and not yet shut down in either * direction. The raw_io_channel is used to represent a bidirectional * channel: close_out shuts the socket down for sending, close_in * shuts the socket down for reading, and when both directions are down, * the descriptor is closed. * * The pos_in and pos_out methods returns logical positions. * * This class supports sockets and Win32 named pipes. Note, however, * that for Win32 named pipes it is not possible to shut down only one * direction of the bidirectional data channel. * *
