However, in this tutorial, we'll focus on TCP/IP sockets. The first name which includes a period is selected. This implies that in order to use this capability length, along with any trailing padding. In particular, an implementation may impose a maximum length connection completes, or raise a TimeoutError on timeout, if the In non-blocking mode, operations fail (with an error that is unfortunately information on this topic, consult the Socket Programming HOWTO. their counterparts) on the socket object as usual.

In general, a socket is a combination of an IP address and a port number. the sending socket, if available; otherwise, its value is Socket addresses are represented as follows: The address of an AF_UNIX socket bound to a file system node as its argument to ensure the operation is allowed.
