-- sendTo/recvFrom

{-$sendrecv
Send and receive data from\/to the given host and port number.  These
should normally only be used where the socket will not be required for
further calls. Also, note that due to the use of 'hGetContents' in 'recvFrom'
the socket will remain open (i.e. not available) even if the function already
returned. Their use is strongly discouraged except for small test-applications
or invocations from the command line.

{-$buffering

The 'Handle' returned by 'connectTo' and 'accept' is block-buffered by
default.  For an interactive application you may want to set the
buffering mode on the 'Handle' to
'LineBuffering' or 'NoBuffering', like so:

> h <- connectTo host port
> hSetBuffering h LineBuffering
-}

{-$performance

For really fast I\/O, it might be worth looking at the 'hGetBuf' and
'hPutBuf' family of functions in "System.IO".
-}

{-$sigpipe

On Unix, when writing to a socket and the reading end is
closed by the remote client, the program is normally sent a
@SIGPIPE@ signal by the operating system.  The
default behaviour when a @SIGPIPE@ is received is
to terminate the program silently, which can be somewhat confusing
if you haven't encountered this before.  The solution is to
specify that @SIGPIPE@ is to be ignored, using
the POSIX library:

>  import Posix
>  main = do installHandler sigPIPE Ignore Nothing; ...
