// .SECTION Description
// This abstract class encapsulates a BSD socket. It provides an API for
// basic socket operations.

  // Description:

  // Returns 1 on success, 0 on error and raises vtkCommand::ErrorEvent.

  // Description:
  // Receive data from the socket.
  // This call blocks until some data is read from the socket.
  // When readFully is set, this call will block until all the
  // requested data is read from the socket.
  // 0 on error, else number of bytes read is returned. On error,
  // vtkCommand::ErrorEvent is raised.
