Dear Splus gurus,
is there a function like R's make.socket to open
a port to connect to/listen on. I do not want to dyn.load an easy to
code
routine for compatability reasons.
Thanks for your help,
Armin
from R:
> ?make.socket
Create a socket connection
make.socket(host="localhost", port, fail=TRUE, server=FA
LSE)
close.socket(socket)
Arguments:
host: name of remote host
port: port to connect to/listen on
fail: failure to connect is an error?
server: a server socket?
Description:
With `server=FALSE' attempts to open a client socket to
the specified port and host. With `server=TRUE' listens
on the specified port for a connection and then returns
a server socket. It is a good idea to use `on.exit' to
ensure that a socket is closed, as you only get 64 of
them.
