Description:  Reading/writing from/to a socket is handled by the routines
              described in this document. The routines are tuned for
              reading/writing from/to unix sockets and internet sockets,
              but can also be used for general I/O. The routines are
              made so that when a specified amount of data should be
              read/written from/to a file descriptor, it returns when
              the I/O is completed or in case of an error.

              The following routines are available:
              sock_read                read from a socket
              sock_readv               read a vector from a socket
              sock_write               write to a socket
              sock_writev              write a vector to a socket
