Loadable Function: sock = socket (domain, type, protocol) ¶

Creates a socket.

domain is an integer, where the value AF_INET can be used to create an IPv4 socket.

type is an integer describing the socket. When using IP, specifying SOCK_STREAM gives a TCP socket.

protocol is currently not used and should be 0 if specified.

If no input arguments are given, default values AF_INET and SOCK_STREAM are used.

See the local socket reference for more details.
