/**
 * The extended socket class.
 *
 * This class should be used instead of TDESocket whenever the user needs
 * fine-grained control over the socket being created. Unlike TDESocket, which
 * does everything at once, without much intervention, KExtendedSocket allows
 * intervention at every step of the process and the setting of parameters.
 *
 * This class allows for the creation of both server and client sockets. The
 * only difference is that the passiveSocket flag must be passed either to
 * the constructor or to setSocketFlags(). If passiveSocket is used, the class will
 * enable functions listen() and accept() and related signals, and will
 * also disable readBlock() and writeBlock().
 *
 * To create a Unix socket, one would pass flag unixSocket to the constructor
 * or setSocketFlags(). The hostname and service/port can be set to whatever is
 * necessary. If no hostname is given, but a service/port is, the socket created
 * will be implementation dependant (usually in /tmp). In any other case, the
 * fields will be concatenated.
 *
 * To create an Internet socket, inetSocket flag can be used. If, on the other
 * hand a specific IP protocol is desired, ipv4Socket and/or ipv6Socket can be
 * used.
 *
 * Note that the socket type selection flags are cumulative. One could select
 * Unix and Internet sockets by using unixSocket | inetSocket. Or, for instance,
 * to make sure only IPv4 and IPv6 sockets are selected, even if future implementations
 * support newer IP protocols, ipv4Socket | ipv6Socket is your guy.
 *
 * @deprecated
 *	This class is now deprecated. Please use the classes in KNetwork for
 *	new programs. In particular, this class is replaced by KNetwork::KStreamSocket
 *	and @ref KNetwork::TDEServerSocket.
