NAME

       Opening/Closing - An XIO handle with the tcp driver can be created with either
       globus_xio_handle_create() or globus_xio_server_register_accept().

       If the handle is created with globus_xio_server_register_accept(), the
       globus_xio_register_open() call does nothing more than initialize the internal handle with
       the accepted socket.

       If the handle is created with globus_xio_handle_create(), and there is no handle set on
       the attr passed to the globus_xio_register_open() call, it performs the equivalent of an
       asynchronous connect() call. In this case, the contact string must contain a host name and
       service/port. Both the hostname and port number can be numeric or symbolic (eg:
       some.webserver.com:80 or 214.123.12.1:http). If the hostname is symbolic and it resolves
       to multiple ip addresses, each one will be attempted in succession, until the connect is
       successful or there are no more addresses.

       When the XIO handle is closed, the tcp driver will destroy its internal resources and
       close the socket (unless this socket was set on an attr). Any write data pending in system
       buffers will be sent unless the linger option has been set. Any remaining data in recv
       buffers will be discarded and (on some systems) a connection reset sent to the peer.
