A socket is an endpoint for network communication. All sockets are subclasses of this class. Socket should be created with make-socket rather than make-instance of a socket class. make-socket will select the appropriate socket class based on its arguments. The following are the socket classes:

• socket-stream-internet-active
• socket-stream-internet-passive
• socket-stream-file-active
• socket-stream-file-passive
• socket-datagram-internet-active
• socket-datagram-file-active
