Detailed Description

The base class for all internet-based sockets.

   inetbase.cpp defines the class inet_socket. This class
   is used as base class in the hierarchy between socket and
   the next specific class. Inheriting classes are inet_dgram,
   inet_stream_client and inet_stream_server.

   The class contains the data elements host and port. If the inheriting
   class is a client, like inet_stream_client or inet_dgram_client (via

inet_dgram), this fields contain the remote peer. If the inheriting class is a server socket, this fields contain the address and the port to which the server is bound.

    The getters, gethost() and getport() may be used for a
    server application to get the paramters of the remote peer.
