--  This package provides an interface to the sockets communication facility

--  native GNAT ports except for VMS. It is not yet implemented for any of
--  the cross-ports (e.g. it is not available for VxWorks or LynxOS).
--  Another restriction is that there is no multicast support under Windows
--  or under any system on which the multicast support is not available or
--  installed.

   --  facility between applications. This package provides an

   --  C select() waits for a number of file descriptors to change
