    This will suppress any potentially lengthy network host address lookups.
@trusted AddressInfo[] getAddressInfo(T...)(in char[] node, T options);
  Provides protocol-independent translation from host names to socket addresses. If advanced functionality is not required, consider using getAddress for compatibility with older systems.
  Returns:

          AddressInfoFlags.NUMERICHOST);
      assert(results.length && results[0].family ==
          AddressFamily.INET);

      // Parsing IPv6
      results = getAddressInfo("::1",
          AddressInfoFlags.NUMERICHOST);
      assert(results.length && results[0].family ==
          AddressFamily.INET6);

@safe Address[] getAddress(in char[] hostname, in char[] service = null);
@safe Address[] getAddress(in char[] hostname, ushort port);

  Returns:
  An Address instance representing specified address.
  Throws:
  SocketException on failure.

  Example:

      writeln("Enter IP address:");
      string ip = readln().chomp();
      try
      {
          Address address = parseAddress(ip);
          writefln("Looking up reverse of %s:",

    Associate a local address with this socket.
  @trusted void connect(Address to);
    Establish a connection. If the socket is blocking, connect waits for the connection to be made. If the socket is nonblocking, connect returns immediately and the connection attempt is still in progress.
  @trusted void listen(int backlog);
    Listen for an incoming connection. bind must be called before you can listen. The backlog is a request of how many pending incoming connections are queued until accepted.
  protected pure nothrow @safe Socket accepting();
    Called by accept when a new Socket must be created for a new connection. To use a derived class, override this method and return an instance of your class. The returned Socket's handle must not be set; Socket has a protected constructor this() to use in this situation.
  @trusted Socket accept();
    Accept an incoming connection. If the socket is blocking, accept waits for a connection request. Throws SocketAcceptException if unable to accept. See accepting for use with derived classes.
  nothrow @nogc @trusted void shutdown(SocketShutdown how);
    Disables sends and/or receives.
  nothrow @nogc @trusted void close();
    Immediately drop any connections and release socket resources. Calling shutdown before close is recommended for connection-oriented sockets. The Socket object is no longer usable after close.
  static @property @trusted string hostName();
    Returns the local machine's host name.
  @property @trusted Address remoteAddress();
    Remote endpoint Address.
  @property @trusted Address localAddress();
    Local endpoint Address.
  enum int ERROR;
    Send or receive error code. See wouldHaveBlocked, lastSocketError and Socket.getErrorText for obtaining more information about the error.
  @trusted ptrdiff_t send(const(void)[] buf, SocketFlags flags);
  @safe ptrdiff_t send(const(void)[] buf);
    Send data on the connection. If the socket is blocking and there is no buffer space left, send waits.
    Returns:
    The number of bytes actually sent, or Socket.ERROR on failure.
  @trusted ptrdiff_t sendTo(const(void)[] buf, SocketFlags flags, Address to);
  @safe ptrdiff_t sendTo(const(void)[] buf, Address to);
  @trusted ptrdiff_t sendTo(const(void)[] buf, SocketFlags flags);
  @safe ptrdiff_t sendTo(const(void)[] buf);
    Send data to a specific destination Address. If the destination address is not specified, a connection must have been made and that address is used. If the socket is blocking and there is no buffer space left, sendTo waits.
    Returns:
    The number of bytes actually sent, or Socket.ERROR on failure.
  @trusted ptrdiff_t receive(void[] buf, SocketFlags flags);
  @safe ptrdiff_t receive(void[] buf);
    Receive data on the connection. If the socket is blocking, receive waits until there is data to be received.
    Returns:
    The number of bytes actually received, 0 if the remote side has closed the connection, or Socket.ERROR on failure.
  @trusted ptrdiff_t receiveFrom(void[] buf, SocketFlags flags, ref Address from);
  @safe ptrdiff_t receiveFrom(void[] buf, ref Address from);
  @trusted ptrdiff_t receiveFrom(void[] buf, SocketFlags flags);
  @safe ptrdiff_t receiveFrom(void[] buf);
    Receive data and get the remote endpoint Address. If the socket is blocking, receiveFrom waits until there is data to be received.
    Returns:
    The number of bytes actually received, 0 if the remote side has closed the connection, or Socket.ERROR on failure.
  @trusted int getOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, void[] result);
    Get a socket option.
    Returns:
    The number of bytes written to result.
  @trusted int getOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, out int32_t result);
    Common case of getting integer and boolean options.
  @trusted int getOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, out Linger result);
    Get the linger option.
  @trusted void getOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, out Duration result);
    Get a timeout (duration) option.
  @trusted void setOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, void[] value);
    Set a socket option.
  @trusted void setOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, int32_t value);
    Common case for setting integer and boolean options.
  @trusted void setOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, Linger value);
    Set the linger option.
  @trusted void setOption(SocketOptionLevel level, SocketOption option, Duration value);
    Sets a timeout (duration) option, i.e. SocketOption.SNDTIMEO or RCVTIMEO. Zero indicates no timeout.
    In a typical application, you might also want to consider using a non-blocking socket instead of setting a timeout on a blocking one.

    Note: While the receive timeout setting is generally quite accurate on *nix systems even for smaller durations, there are two issues to be aware of on Windows: First, although undocumented, the effective timeout duration seems to be the one set on the socket plus half a second. setOption() tries to compensate for that, but still, timeouts under 500ms are not possible on Windows. Second, be aware that the actual amount of time spent until a blocking call returns randomly varies on the order of 10ms.

    Parameters:

    SocketOptionLevel level | The level at which a socket option is defined.
    SocketOption option | Either SocketOption.SNDTIMEO or SocketOption.RCVTIMEO.
    Duration value | The timeout duration to set. Must not be negative.

    Throws:
    SocketException if setting the options fails.

    Example:

        import std.datetime;
        auto pair = socketPair();
        scope(exit) foreach (s; pair) s.close();

        // Set a receive timeout, and then wait at one end of
        // the socket pair, knowing that no data will arrive.
        pair[0].setOption(SocketOptionLevel.SOCKET,
            SocketOption.RCVTIMEO, dur!"seconds"(1));

        auto sw = StopWatch(AutoStart.yes);
        ubyte[1] buffer;
        pair[0].receive(buffer);
        writefln("Waited %s ms until the socket timed out.",
            sw.peek.msecs);

  @safe string getErrorText();
    Get a text description of this socket's error status, and clear the
    socket's error status.
  @trusted void setKeepAlive(int time, int interval);
    Enables TCP keep-alive with the specified parameters.
    Parameters:

    int time | Number of seconds with no activity until the first keep-alive packet is sent.
    int interval | Number of seconds between when successive keep-alive packets are sent if no acknowledgement is received.

    Throws:
    SocketOSException if setting the options fails, or SocketFeatureException if setting keep-alive parameters is unsupported on the current platform.
  static @trusted int select(SocketSet checkRead, SocketSet checkWrite, SocketSet checkError, Duration timeout);
  static @safe int select(SocketSet checkRead, SocketSet checkWrite, SocketSet checkError);
  static @trusted int select(SocketSet checkRead, SocketSet checkWrite, SocketSet checkError, TimeVal* timeout);
    Wait for a socket to change status. A wait timeout of or TimeVal, may be specified; if a timeout is not specified or the TimeVal is null, the maximum timeout is used. The TimeVal timeout has an unspecified value when select returns.
    Returns:
    The number of sockets with status changes, 0 on timeout, or -1 on interruption. If the return value is greater than 0, the SocketSets are updated to only contain the sockets having status changes. For a connecting socket, a write status change means the connection is established and it's able to send. For a listening socket, a read status change means there is an incoming connection request and it's able to accept.

@trusted Socket[2] socketPair();
  Creates a pair of connected sockets.
  The two sockets are indistinguishable.
  Throws:
  SocketException if creation of the sockets fails.

  Example:

      immutable ubyte[] data = [1, 2, 3, 4];
      auto pair = socketPair();
      scope(exit) foreach (s; pair) s.close();

      pair[0].send(data);

      auto buf = new ubyte[data.length];
      pair[1].receive(buf);
      assert(buf == data);
