Detailed Description

       The TCP session is used to primarily to represent a client connection that can be managed on a separate
       thread.

       The TCP session also supports a non-blocking connection scheme which prevents blocking during the
       constructor and moving the process of completing a connection into the thread that executes for the
       session.

       Threaded streamable socket with non-blocking constructor.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   ost::TCPSession::TCPSession (const IPV4Host & host, tpport_t port, size_t size = 536, int pri = 0, size_t
       stack = 0)
       Create a TCP socket that will be connected to a remote TCP server and that will execute under it's own
       thread.

       Parameters
           host internet address of remote TCP server.
           port number of remote server.
           size of streaming buffer.
           pri execution priority relative to parent.
           stack allocation needed on some platforms.

   ost::TCPSession::TCPSession (const IPV6Host & host, tpport_t port, size_t size = 536, int pri = 0, size_t
       stack = 0)
   ost::TCPSession::TCPSession (TCPSocket & server, int pri = 0, size_t stack = 0)
       Create a TCP socket from a bound TCP server by accepting a pending connection from that server and
       execute a thread for the accepted connection.

       Parameters
           server tcp socket to accept a connection from.
           pri execution priority relative to parent.
           stack allocation needed on some platforms.

Member Function Documentation

   void ost::TCPSession::initial (void) [protected],  [virtual]
       The initial method is used to esablish a connection when delayed completion is used. This assures the
       constructor terminates without having to wait for a connection request to complete.

       Reimplemented from ost::Thread.

   int ost::TCPSession::waitConnection (timeout_t timeout = TIMEOUT_INF) [protected]
       Normally called during the thread Initial() method by default, this will wait for the socket connection
       to complete when connecting to a remote socket. One might wish to use setCompletion() to change the
       socket back to blocking I/O calls after the connection completes. To implement the session one must
       create a derived class which implements run().

       Returns
           0 if successful, -1 if timed out.

       Parameters
           timeout to wait for completion in milliseconds.
