Networking - Enums

Tinlok provides several interfaces defining the socket creation constant, and enumerations containing a set of possible values that are known to be supported by all platforms.

AddressFamily

The AddressFamily enumeration corresponds to AF_ constants on the BSD socket API, with the specified members:

Name	Description
`AF_UNSPEC`	Unspecified. Used as a hint for getaddrinfo(), not in the socket API.
`AF_INET`	IPv4.
`AF_INET6`	IPv6.
`AF_UNIX`	Unix domain sockets.

SocketType

The SocketType enumeration corresponds to SOCK_ constants on the BSD socket API, with the specified members:

Name	Description
`SOCK_STREAM`	Stream-based connections, such as TCP.
`SOCK_DGRAM`	Datagram-based connections, such as UDP.
`SOCK_RAW`	Raw sockets, for running over IP directly.

IPProtocol

The IPProtocol enumeration corresponds to IPROTO_ constants on the BSD socket API, with the specified members:

Name	Description
`IPPROTO_IP`	Usually signifies “kernel chooses the protocol”.
`IPPROTO_TCP`	Transport Control Protocol.
`IPPROTO_UDP`	Unreliable/User Datagram Protocol.
`IPPROTO_ICMP`	Internet Control Message Protocol.
