A socketGenerator is a factory from which instances of streamSocket and of
binarySocket can be obtained, in response to active sockets connecting to
the socketGenerators port.
Bind must be executed to establish the given port number as an address, to
which active sockets may connect. Executing bind with port=0 establishes a
randomly chosen port number as an address. The actual port number used may
be read from port. None of the other operations make sense on an unbound
generator.
As usual, when you are done, execute close on the socketGenerator.
getPortableAddress exits a portableCommunicationAddress
which describes the network identity of this
socketGenerator. ForceTimeout and usageTimeStamp
work as with the other socket variants, and the considerations concerning
nonBlockingScope and leaveNBScope are as usual.
To obtain a streamSocket on the next connection requested, execute
getStreamConnection, and to obtain a binarySocket, execute
getBinaryConnection. Remember to enter a timeout value. When you are done
with the created socket, execute close on it.
