Vocabularyio.socketsClass descriptionHost name/port number specifier for TCP/IP and UDP/IP connections. The
host and
port slots hold the host name and port name or number, respectively. New instances are created by calling
<inet>.
NotesThis address specifier is only supported by
<client>, which calls
resolve-host to obtain a list of IP addresses associated with the host name, and attempts a connection to each one in turn until one succeeds. Other network words do not accept this address specifier, and
resolve-host must be called directly; it is then up to the application to pick the correct address from the (possibly several) addresses associated to the host name.
Examples"www.apple.com" 80 <inet>
