A TCP socket waiting for a connection. The address of this socket is a filename on the current machine. This socket isn't a stream - you can't write to it or read from it because it isn't connected to anything. You can call close on it however. Windows doesn't support this type of socket. Note that instances should be created with make-socket rather than make-instance. make-socket will select the appropriate socket class based on its arguments.
See socket for a
list of socket classes. See socket.htm for
information on the Allegro CL socket interface.
The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
