Constructor

	Socket(String host, int port) Creates a stream socket and connects it to the specified port number on the named host.
	Socket(InetAddress address, int port) Creates a stream socket and connects it to the specified port number at the specified IP address.
	Socket(String host, int port, boolean stream) Creates a stream socket and connects it to the specified port number on the named host.
	Socket(InetAddress host, int port, boolean stream) Creates a socket and connects it to the specified port number at the specified IP address.
	Socket(SocketAddress address, SocketAddress localAddr, boolean stream)
	Socket(String host, int port, InetAddress localAddr, int localPort) Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host on the specified remote port.
	Socket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddr, int localPort) Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote address on the specified remote port.
	Socket(Proxy proxy) Creates an unconnected socket, specifying the type of proxy, if any, that should be used regardless of any other settings.
	Socket(SocketImpl impl) Creates an unconnected Socket with a user-specified SocketImpl.
	Socket() Creates an unconnected Socket.

Method

void	bind(SocketAddress bindpoint) Binds the socket to a local address.
void	close() Closes this socket.
void	connect(SocketAddress endpoint) Connects this socket to the server.
void	connect(SocketAddress endpoint, int timeout) Connects this socket to the server with a specified timeout value.
SocketChannel	getChannel() Returns the unique java.nio.channels.SocketChannel SocketChannel object associated with this socket, if any.
Class	getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object .
InetAddress	getInetAddress() Returns the address to which the socket is connected.
InputStream	getInputStream() Returns an input stream for this socket.
boolean	getKeepAlive() Tests if SocketOptions#SO_KEEPALIVE SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled.
InetAddress	getLocalAddress() Gets the local address to which the socket is bound.
int	getLocalPort() Returns the local port number to which this socket is bound.
SocketAddress	getLocalSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to.
boolean	getOOBInline() Tests if SocketOptions#SO_OOBINLINE SO_OOBINLINE is enabled.
OutputStream	getOutputStream() Returns an output stream for this socket.
int	getPort() Returns the remote port number to which this socket is connected.
int	getReceiveBufferSize() Gets the value of the SocketOptions#SO_RCVBUF SO_RCVBUF option for this Socket , that is the buffer size used by the platform for input on this Socket .
SocketAddress	getRemoteSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or null if it is unconnected.
boolean	getReuseAddress() Tests if SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR is enabled.
int	getSendBufferSize() Get value of the SocketOptions#SO_SNDBUF SO_SNDBUF option for this Socket , that is the buffer size used by the platform for output on this Socket .
int	getSoLinger() Returns setting for SocketOptions#SO_LINGER SO_LINGER .
int	getSoTimeout() Returns setting for SocketOptions#SO_TIMEOUT SO_TIMEOUT .
boolean	getTcpNoDelay() Tests if SocketOptions#TCP_NODELAY TCP_NODELAY is enabled.
int	getTrafficClass() Gets traffic class or type-of-service in the IP header for packets sent from this Socket As the underlying network implementation may ignore the traffic class or type-of-service set using #setTrafficClass(int) this method may return a different value than was previously set using the #setTrafficClass(int) method on this Socket.
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
boolean	isBound() Returns the binding state of the socket.
boolean	isClosed() Returns the closed state of the socket.
boolean	isConnected() Returns the connection state of the socket.
boolean	isInputShutdown() Returns whether the read-half of the socket connection is closed.
boolean	isOutputShutdown() Returns whether the write-half of the socket connection is closed.
void	sendUrgentData(int data) Send one byte of urgent data on the socket.
void	setKeepAlive(boolean on) Enable/disable SocketOptions#SO_KEEPALIVE SO_KEEPALIVE .
void	setOOBInline(boolean on) Enable/disable SocketOptions#SO_OOBINLINE SO_OOBINLINE (receipt of TCP urgent data) By default, this option is disabled and TCP urgent data received on a socket is silently discarded.
void	setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime, int latency, int bandwidth) Sets performance preferences for this socket.
void	setReceiveBufferSize(int size) Sets the SocketOptions#SO_RCVBUF SO_RCVBUF option to the specified value for this Socket .
void	setReuseAddress(boolean on) Enable/disable the SocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR socket option.
void	setSendBufferSize(int size) Sets the SocketOptions#SO_SNDBUF SO_SNDBUF option to the specified value for this Socket .

void	setSoTimeout(int timeout) Enable/disable SocketOptions#SO_TIMEOUT SO_TIMEOUT with the specified timeout, in milliseconds.
void	setTcpNoDelay(boolean on) Enable/disable SocketOptions#TCP_NODELAY TCP_NODELAY (disable/enable Nagle's algorithm).
void	setTrafficClass(int tc) Sets traffic class or type-of-service octet in the IP header for packets sent from this Socket.
void	shutdownInput() Places the input stream for this socket at "end of stream".
void	shutdownOutput() Disables the output stream for this socket.
String	toString() Converts this socket to a String .
