Namespaces
namespace	dsl
	Contains building blocks to assemble protocol stacks in a declarative way.
namespace	http
	Contains an implementation for HTTP.
namespace	lp
	Contains an implementation for message exchange over length-prefix framing.
namespace	octet_stream
	Contains classes and utilities for transports that operate on raw octets.
namespace	prometheus
	Contains a scraper for exposing metrics from an actor system to Prometheus.
namespace	ssl
	Contains wrappers for convenient access to SSL.
namespace	web_socket

Classes
class	actor_shell
	Enables socket managers to communicate with actors using dynamically typed messaging. More...
class	actor_shell_ptr
	An "owning" pointer to an actor shell in the sense that it calls quit() on the shell when going out of scope. More...
struct	datagram_socket
	A datagram-oriented network communication endpoint. More...
class	generic_lower_layer
	Bundles protocol-independent, generic member functions for (almost all) lower layers. More...
class	generic_upper_layer
	Bundles protocol-independent, generic member functions for (almost all) upper layers. More...
class	message_flow_bridge
	Translates between a message-oriented transport and data flows. More...
class	middleman
	Provides a network backend for running protocol stacks. More...
class	multiplexer
	Multiplexes any number of ::socket_manager objects with a ::socket. More...
struct	network_socket
	A bidirectional network communication endpoint. More...
struct	pipe_socket
	A unidirectional communication endpoint for inter-process communication. More...
struct	receive_policy
	Configures how many bytes an octet stream transport receives before calling consume on its upper layer. More...
struct	socket
	An internal endpoint for sending or receiving data. More...
class	socket_event_layer
	The lowest layer in a protocol stack. More...
class	socket_guard
	Closes the guarded socket when destroyed. More...
class	socket_manager
	Manages the lifetime of a single socket and handles any I/O events on it. More...
struct	stream_socket
	A connection-oriented network communication endpoint for bidirectional byte streams. More...
struct	tcp_accept_socket
	Represents a TCP acceptor in listening mode. More...
struct	tcp_stream_socket
	Represents a TCP connection. More...
class	this_host
	Groups functions for managing the host system. More...
class	typed_actor_shell
	Enables socket managers to communicate with actors using statically typed messaging. More...
class	typed_actor_shell_ptr
	An "owning" pointer to an actor shell in the sense that it calls quit() on the shell when going out of scope. More...
struct	udp_datagram_socket
	A datagram-oriented network communication endpoint for bidirectional byte transmission. More...

Functions
template<class Socket >
expected< Socket >	checked_socket (Socket fd)

template<class Handle = caf::actor>
actor_shell_ptr_t< Handle >	make_actor_shell (actor_system &sys, async::execution_context_ptr loop)
	Creates a new actor_shell and registers it at the actor system.
template<class To , class From >
To	socket_cast (From x)
	Converts between different socket types.
constexpr bool	valid (socket x) noexcept
	Checks whether x contains a valid ID.
template<class Socket >
socket_guard< Socket >	make_socket_guard (Socket sock)

Variables
static constexpr auto	check_socket = [](auto fd) { return checked_socket(fd); }
	A function object that calls checked_socket.
constexpr auto	invalid_socket = socket{invalid_socket_id}
	Denotes the invalid socket.
constexpr socket_id	invalid_socket_id = -1
	Identifies the invalid socket.
