 *      Returns 0 on success or -1 on error; on error, the error code is set;

 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      Closes the socket, notifiying both ends of the communication pipe that the
 *      connection is over.
 *
 *      If you have threads waiting for data to be read from
 *      this socket, this method will make them stop waiting and return an error
 *      (socket closed) to their callers.
 *
 *      The method does not destroy the socket, which can be used by subordinate
 *      threads to check that the socket is closed, and so they should stop as soon
 *      as they can. Don't destroy the socket unless you are sure that no other
 *      thread is using it.

 *      The number of the characters read from the socket.
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      Reads from the socket into a buffer.
 *
 *      The parameter cString must be preallocated so that it has enough
 *      space to receive the data. The routine will block the thread until some
 *      bytes are read from the socket, the socket is closed (either from the
 *      receiver or the sender side) or a network error occurs, whichever comes
 *      first. In the latter cases, an error is set, and only the characters
 *      received until premature end of communications are returned.
 *
 *      Notice that there is no guarantee that all the available bytes will be
 *      read before the function returns, in fact, hb_InetRecv returns as soon it
 *      is able to fill cString with one or more bytes. To block the current
 *      process until the whole cString is filled (or nAmount bytes are read),
 *      use the hb_InetRecvALL().

 *
 *      If an error occurs, or if the stream is closed before a CRLF is read,

 *
 *      The returned string does not contain the trailing CRLF sequence, so an
 *      empty line is effectively returned as an empty string.
 *
 *      If the nBytesRead parameter is given, it will contain the number of bytes
 *      read from the socket, including the CRLF sequence, so that in normal
 *      conditions, nResult will report a count equal to the length of the
 *      returned string plus 2. nBytesRead will be 0 if stream is closed before
 *      a CRLF sequence is read, and will be -1 on error.
 *
 *      An optional nMaxLength parameter can be given to allow a maximum character
 *      count before the data is returned anyway. If this number is reached before
 *      a CRLF sequence is encountered, nBytesRead will contain the value one.
 *
 *      Finally, a nBufSize parameter can be given. If not, memory allocation
 *      will be increased by discrete amounts of 80 bytes. The programmer
 *      can provide here a different allocation strategy (e.g. setting nBufSize
 *      equal to nMaxLength, memory for reading the line will be allocated only
 *      once, at the beginning of the function).

 *
 *      If the computer on which hb_InetServer is called has more than one logical
 *      interface (e.g. one network card, one loopback and one PPP address),
 *      cBindAddr can be specified to select only one of these interfaces to accept

 *      two networks, and the service is to be available only in one of them. Also,
 *      the same port on other addresses is left free to be used, so you can have
 *      different server programs running for different networks but managing
 *      the same service. For example, an FTP server available to the internal

 *      Returns number of bytes sent, or -1 on error
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      Sends a datagram (a fixed length data) to a determined ip address (cAddress,
 *      to be specified in quad-dot notation) and port.
 *
 *      If nSize is not specified,
 *      all the data in cBuffer will be sent; if nSize is specified, only
 *      the first nSize bytes of cBuffer will be sent.
 *
 *      There isn't any guarantee that all the data required to be written is
 *      really sent to the socket: the calling program should check for the
 *      numeric return and send iteratively the unsent data to complete
 *      the message.
 *
 *      Anyway, the raw datagram is sent and received as once, and any data
 *      less than the system datagram size will be sent and received
 *      as a single item.
 *
 *      If the socket is created in broadcast mode, the cAddress element
 *      can be a broadcast address.
 *
 *      Returns -1 on error, or the number of bytes actually sent on success.

 *
 *      There isn't any guarantee that all the data required to be read is
