`nn::socket` Namespace

Description

Namespace for the socket API.

This library is provided for initializing and finalizing sockets when NEX features are used. Contact Nintendo if you want to use this library for direct communication.

Structures

`nn::socket::SockAddrIn`	An IPv4 socket structure.
`nn::socket::SockAddr`	A socket structure.
`nn::socket::Linger`	A structure used with `SO_LINGER` in the `GetSockOpt` and `SetSockOpt` functions.
`nn::socket::IpMreq`	A structure used when using `IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP` and `IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP` with the `GetSockOpt` and `SetSockOpt` functions.
`nn::socket::PollFd`	A structure used with the `Poll` function.
`nn::socket::AddrInfo`	A structure used with the `GetAddrInfo` function.
`nn::socket::HostEnt`	A structure used with the `GetHostByAddr` function and `GetHostByName` function.
`nn::socket::DnsAddr`	A structure for DNS server addresses.

Enumerated Types

	`ProtocolFamily`	An enumerated type representing protocol families.
	`AddressFamily`	An enumerated type representing address families.
	`SocketType`	An enumerated type representing socket types.
	`MessageFlag`	Flags given to functions such as `RecvFrom` and `SendTo`.
	`PollType`	Flags given to the `Poll` function.
	`SocketLevel`	Option levels given to functions such as `GetSockOpt` and `SetSockOpt`.
	`SocketOptionType`	Option numbers given to the `GetSockOpt` and `SetSockOpt` functions.
	`ShutdownType`	Flags given to the `Shutdown` function.
	`FcntlFlag`	Flags given to the `Fcntl` function.
	`FcntlOperation`	Mode values given to the `Fcntl` function.
	`AddrInfoType`	Flags given to the `GetAddrInfo` function.
	`NameInfoType`	Flags given to the `GetNameInfo` function.
	`AddrInfoError`	Error values returned by the `GetAddrInfo` and `GetNameInfo` functions.
	`SocketError`	Error values shared by socket functions. Errors without descriptions are used internally and are never returned by the socket API.

Functions

Initialization/Termination
	`Initialize`	Initializes the socket library, allowing socket API functions to be called.
	`GetRequiredMemorySize`	Gets the minimum amount of working memory required to initialize the socket library.
	`Finalize`	Finalizes the socket library and releases any resources used by it.
Utilities
	`GetDefaultGateway`	Gets the address of the default gateway.
	`GetPrimaryAddress`	Gets the IP address and netmask of the local host.
	`GetResolver`	Gets the address of the DNS server to use for name resolution.
	`GetMacAddress`	Gets the MAC address.
	`DumpRoutingTable`	Outputs the routing table to the console.
