Accepts a connection.

s	the accepted connection.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when accepting the connection.

Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.

return	the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when determining the number of bytes available.

Binds this socket to the specified local IP address and port number.

host	an IP address that belongs to a local interface.
port	the port number.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when binding this socket.

Closes this socket.

Throws

IOException: if an I/O error occurs when closing this socket.

Connects this socket to the specified port on the named host.

host	the name of the remote host.
port	the port number.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when connecting to the remote host.

Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.

address	the IP address of the remote host.
port	the port number.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when attempting a connection.

Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. The connection will then block until established or an error occurs.

address	the Socket address of the remote host.
timeout	the timeout value, in milliseconds, or zero for no timeout.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when attempting a connection.

Creates either a stream or a datagram socket.

stream	if true, create a stream socket; otherwise, create a datagram socket.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket.

Sets the maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) to the count argument. If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.

backlog	the maximum length of the queue.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when creating the queue.

Send one byte of urgent data on the socket. The byte to be sent is the low eight bits of the parameter

data	The byte of data to send
Throws	IOException: if there is an error sending the data.
since	1.4

Places the input stream for this socket at "end of stream". Any data sent to this socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded. If you read from a socket input stream after invoking shutdownInput() on the socket, the stream will return EOF.

Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.
since	1.3
See also	shutdownOutput(), close(), setSoLinger(boolean, int)

Disables the output stream for this socket. For a TCP socket, any previously written data will be sent followed by TCP's normal connection termination sequence. If you write to a socket output stream after invoking shutdownOutput() on the socket, the stream will throw an IOException.

Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.
since	1.3

Returns whether or not this SocketImpl supports sending urgent data. By default, false is returned unless the method is overridden in a sub-class

return	true if urgent data supported
since	1.4

Returns an input stream for this socket.

return	a stream for reading from this socket.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when creating the input stream.

Returns the value of this socket's localport field.

return	the value of this socket's localport field.
See also	localport

Returns an output stream for this socket.

return	an output stream for writing to this socket.
Throws	IOException: if an I/O error occurs when creating the output stream.

Sets performance preferences for this socket.

Sockets use the TCP/IP protocol by default. Some implementations may offer alternative protocols which have different performance characteristics than TCP/IP. This method allows the application to express its own preferences as to how these tradeoffs should be made when the implementation chooses from the available protocols.

Performance preferences are described by three integers whose values indicate the relative importance of short connection time, low latency, and high bandwidth. The absolute values of the integers are irrelevant; in order to choose a protocol the values are simply compared, with larger values indicating stronger preferences. Negative values represent a lower priority than positive values. If the application prefers short connection time over both low latency and high bandwidth, for example, then it could invoke this method with the values (1, 0, 0). If the application prefers high bandwidth above low latency, and low latency above short connection time, then it could invoke this method with the values (0, 1, 2). By default, this method does nothing, unless it is overridden in a a sub-class.

connectionTime	An int expressing the relative importance of a short connection time
latency	An int expressing the relative importance of low latency
bandwidth	An int expressing the relative importance of high bandwidth
