Detailed Description

A socket class that represents a TCP socket.

Useful for creating a TCP based client or server socket. A simple example for a server might be something like this:

    TCPSocket server;
    server.listen( 1234 );

    while ( true ) {
        Socket* client = server.accept();

        {
            TCPSocketOutputStream sos( *client );
            unsigned char bytes[256];
            //put some data in the bytes variable...

            //write to the client socket
            sos.write( bytes, sizeof(bytes) );
        }

    }
