far more likely chance of getting the numbers right. This includes
all of the commonly used pound-defines like AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, etc.
+Also, some common socket "newline" constants are provided: the
+constants C<CR>, C<LF>, and C<CRLF>, as well as C<$CR>, C<$LF>, and
+C<$CRLF>, which map to C<\015>, C<\012>, and C<\015\012>. If you do
+not want to use the literal characters in your programs, then use
+the constants provided here. They are not exported by default, but can
+be imported individually, and with the C<:crlf> export tag:
+
+ use Socket qw(:DEFAULT :crlf);

In addition, some structure manipulation functions are available:

=item inet_aton HOSTNAME
Takes a string giving the name of a host, and translates that
to the 4-byte string (structure). Takes arguments of both
the 'rtfm.mit.edu' type and '18.181.0.24'. If the host name
-cannot be resolved, returns undef.
+cannot be resolved, returns undef. For multi-homed hosts (hosts
+with more than one address), the first address found is returned.
=item inet_ntoa IP_ADDRESS
allows you to bind to all of them simultaneously.)
Normally equivalent to inet_aton('0.0.0.0').
+=item INADDR_BROADCAST
+
+Note: does not return a number, but a packed string.
+
+Returns the 4-byte 'this-lan' ip broadcast address.
+This can be useful for some protocols to solicit information
+from all servers on the same LAN cable.
+Normally equivalent to inet_aton('255.255.255.255').

=item INADDR_LOOPBACK

pack_sockaddr_un() and unpack_sockaddr_un() explicitly.

and returns the pathname. Will croak if the structure does not
have AF_UNIX in the right place.
