This class implements client sockets (also called just
sockets
). A socket is an endpoint for communication
between two machines.
The actual work of the socket is performed by an instance of the SocketImpl class. An application, by changing the socket factory that creates the socket implementation, can configure itself to create sockets appropriate to the local firewall.

(*set-socket-impl-factory fac)
Sets the client socket implementation factory for the application. The factory can be specified only once.
When an application creates a new client socket, the socket implementation factory's createSocketImpl method is called to create the actual socket implementation.
Passing null to the method is a no-op unless the factory was already set. If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkSetFactory method to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.

Constructor.
Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host on the specified remote port. The Socket will also bind() to the local address and port supplied.
If the specified host is null it is the equivalent of specifying the address as InetAddress.getByName(null). In other words, it is equivalent to specifying an address of the loopback interface.
A local port number of zero will let the system pick up a free port in the bind operation.
If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with the host address and port as its arguments. This could result in a SecurityException.

(set-performance-preferences this connection-time latency bandwidth)
Sets performance preferences for this socket.
Sockets use the TCP/IP protocol by default. Some implementations may offer alternative protocols which have different performance characteristics than TCP/IP. This method allows the application to express its own preferences as to how these tradeoffs should be made when the implementation chooses from the available protocols.
Performance preferences are described by three integers whose values indicate the relative importance of short connection time, low latency, and high bandwidth. The absolute values of the integers are irrelevant; in order to choose a protocol the values are simply compared, with larger values indicating stronger preferences. Negative values represent a lower priority than positive values. If the application prefers short connection time over both low latency and high bandwidth, for example, then it could invoke this method with the values (1, 0, 0). If the application prefers high bandwidth above low latency, and low latency above short connection time, then it could invoke this method with the values (0, 1, 2).
Invoking this method after this socket has been connected will have no effect.

(set-receive-buffer-size this size)
Sets the SO_RCVBUF option to the specified value for this Socket. The SO_RCVBUF option is used by the platform's networking code as a hint for the size to set the underlying network I/O buffers.
Increasing the receive buffer size can increase the performance of network I/O for high-volume connection, while decreasing it can help reduce the backlog of incoming data.
Because SO_RCVBUF is a hint, applications that want to verify what size the buffers were set to should call getReceiveBufferSize().
The value of SO_RCVBUF is also used to set the TCP receive window that is advertized to the remote peer. Generally, the window size can be modified at any time when a socket is connected. However, if a receive window larger than 64K is required then this must be requested before the socket is connected to the remote peer. There are two cases to be aware of:
For sockets accepted from a ServerSocket, this must be done by calling ServerSocket.setReceiveBufferSize(int) before the ServerSocket is bound to a local address. For client sockets, setReceiveBufferSize() must be called before connecting the socket to its remote peer.

(set-reuse-address this on)
Enable/disable the SO_REUSEADDR socket option.
When a TCP connection is closed the connection may remain in a timeout state for a period of time after the connection is closed (typically known as the TIME_WAIT state or 2MSL wait state). For applications using a well known socket address or port it may not be possible to bind a socket to the required SocketAddress if there is a connection in the timeout state involving the socket address or port.
Enabling SO_REUSEADDR prior to binding the socket using bind(SocketAddress) allows the socket to be bound even though a previous connection is in a timeout state.
When a Socket is created the initial setting of SO_REUSEADDR is disabled.

Sets the SO_SNDBUF option to the specified value for this Socket. The SO_SNDBUF option is used by the platform's networking code as a hint for the size to set the underlying network I/O buffers. Because SO_SNDBUF is a hint, applications that want to verify what size the buffers were set to should call getSendBufferSize(). size - the size to which to set the send buffer size. This value must be greater than 0. - `int` throws: java.net.SocketException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.
(set-so-linger this on linger)
Enable/disable SO_LINGER with the specified linger time in seconds. The maximum timeout value is platform specific.
The setting only affects socket close.
on - whether or not to linger on. - boolean
linger - how long to linger for, if on is true. - int
throws: java.net.SocketException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.

(set-so-timeout this timeout)
Enable/disable SO_TIMEOUT with the specified timeout, in milliseconds. With this option set to a non-zero timeout, a read() call on the InputStream associated with this Socket will block for only this amount of time. If the timeout expires, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised, though the Socket is still valid. The option must be enabled prior to entering the blocking operation to have effect. The timeout must be > 0. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

Enable/disable TCP_NODELAY (disable/enable Nagle's algorithm).

(set-traffic-class this tc)
Sets traffic class or type-of-service octet in the IP header for packets sent from this Socket. As the underlying network implementation may ignore this value applications should consider it a hint.
The tc must be in the range 0 <= tc <= 255 or an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. Notes: For Internet Protocol v4 the value consists of an integer, the least significant 8 bits of which represent the value of the TOS octet in IP packets sent by the socket. RFC 1349 defines the TOS values as follows:
IPTOS_LOWCOST (0x02) IPTOS_RELIABILITY (0x04) IPTOS_THROUGHPUT (0x08) IPTOS_LOWDELAY (0x10)
The last low order bit is always ignored as this corresponds to the MBZ (must be zero) bit.
Setting bits in the precedence field may result in a SocketException indicating that the operation is not permitted.
As RFC 1122 section 4.2.4.2 indicates, a compliant TCP implementation should, but is not required to, let application change the TOS field during the lifetime of a connection. So whether the type-of-service field can be changed after the TCP connection has been established depends on the implementation in the underlying platform. Applications should not assume that they can change the TOS field after the connection.
For Internet Protocol v6 tc is the value that would be placed into the sin6_flowinfo field of the IP header.

(shutdown-input this)
Places the input stream for this socket at end of stream
.
Any data sent to the input stream side of the socket is acknowledged
and then silently discarded.
If you read from a socket input stream after invoking this method on the socket, the stream's available method will return 0, and its read methods will return -1 (end of stream).
throws: java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.
Places the input stream for this socket at `end of stream`. Any data sent to the input stream side of the socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded. If you read from a socket input stream after invoking this method on the socket, the stream's available method will return 0, and its read methods will return -1 (end of stream). throws: java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.
(shutdown-output this)
Disables the output stream for this socket. For a TCP socket, any previously written data will be sent followed by TCP's normal connection termination sequence.
If you write to a socket output stream after invoking shutdownOutput() on the socket, the stream will throw an IOException.
throws: java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.
