socket_create - create an efun socket int socket_create( int mode, string | function read_callback); int socket_create( int mode, string | function read_callback, string | function close_callback ); This efun is only available if PACKAGE_SOCKETS is compiled in. socket_create() creates an efun socket. mode determines which type of socket is created. Currently supported socket modes are:
void read_callback(int fd, mixed message)Where fd is the socket which received the data, and message is the data which was received. The argument close_callback is the name of a function for the driver to call if the socket closes unexpectedly, i.e. not as the result of a socket_close() call. The close callback should follow this format:
void close_callback(int fd)Where fd is the socket which has closed. NOTE: close_callback is not used with DATAGRAM mode sockets. socket_create() returns: a non-negative descriptor on success. a negative value indicated below on error. ERRORS - these are in "socket_err.h"
