OpenSocket

open a socket connection

Syntax
OpenSocket(Machine: STRING, Port: STRING): DEVICE

Description
***** NOT YET IMPLEMENTED *****

This function opens a client socket (I/O) connection. It requires the name of the machine with the server socket and the port number (expressed as a STRING).

CoCoA-4 communicates with the CoCoAServer via socket which, by default, runs on localhost on port "0xc0c0" . To change these settings redefine in your userinit.coc or .cocoarc the variables
  MEMORY.CoCoAServerMachine := "localhost";
  MEMORY.CoCoAServerPort := "0xc0c0";


Example
  D := OpenSocket("localhost", "10000");
  Print 100^6 On D;
  Source D;
  Close(D);
