.IX Title "IO::Socket::INET 3"
.TH IO::Socket::INET 3 "2001-09-21" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide"

IO::Socket::INET \- Object interface for AF_INET domain sockets

.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`IO::Socket::INET\*(C'\fR provides an object interface to creating and using sockets
in the \s-1AF_INET\s0 domain. It is built upon the IO::Socket interface and
inherits all the methods defined by IO::Socket.
.SH "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR"
.IP "new ( [\s-1ARGS\s0] )" 4
.IX Item "new ( [ARGS] )"
Creates an \f(CW\*(C`IO::Socket::INET\*(C'\fR object, which is a reference to a
newly created symbol (see the \f(CW\*(C`Symbol\*(C'\fR package). \f(CW\*(C`new\*(C'\fR
optionally takes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.
.Sp
In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by IO::Socket,
\&\f(CW\*(C`IO::Socket::INET\*(C'\fR provides.
.Sp
.Vb 16
\&    PeerAddr    Remote host address          <hostname>[:<port>]

\&    Type        Socket type                  SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_DGRAM | ...
\&    Listen      Queue size for listen
\&    ReuseAddr   Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding
\&    Reuse       Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding (deprecated, prefer ReuseAddr)
\&    ReusePort   Set SO_REUSEPORT before binding
\&    Broadcast   Set SO_BROADCAST before binding
\&    Timeout     Timeout value for various operations
\&    MultiHomed  Try all addresses for multi-homed hosts
\&    Blocking    Determine if connection will be blocking mode
.Ve
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Listen\*(C'\fR is defined then a listen socket is created, else if the
socket type, which is derived from the protocol, is \s-1SOCK_STREAM\s0 then
\&\fIconnect()\fR is called.
.Sp
Although it is not illegal, the use of \f(CW\*(C`MultiHomed\*(C'\fR on a socket
which is in non-blocking mode is of little use. This is because the
first connect will never fail with a timeout as the connect call
will not block.
.Sp
The \f(CW\*(C`PeerAddr\*(C'\fR can be a hostname or the IP-address on the
\&\*(L"xx.xx.xx.xx\*(R" form.  The \f(CW\*(C`PeerPort\*(C'\fR can be a number or a symbolic
service name.  The service name might be followed by a number in
parenthesis which is used if the service is not known by the system.
The \f(CW\*(C`PeerPort\*(C'\fR specification can also be embedded in the \f(CW\*(C`PeerAddr\*(C'\fR
by preceding it with a \*(L":\*(R".
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Proto\*(C'\fR is not given and you specify a symbolic \f(CW\*(C`PeerPort\*(C'\fR port,
then the constructor will try to derive \f(CW\*(C`Proto\*(C'\fR from the service
name.  As a last resort \f(CW\*(C`Proto\*(C'\fR \*(L"tcp\*(R" is assumed.  The \f(CW\*(C`Type\*(C'\fR
parameter will be deduced from \f(CW\*(C`Proto\*(C'\fR if not specified.
.Sp
If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed to
be a \f(CW\*(C`PeerAddr\*(C'\fR specification.
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Blocking\*(C'\fR is set to 0, the connection will be in nonblocking mode.
If not specified it defaults to 1 (blocking mode).
