SocketCore is the base class for other socket classes including TCPSocket and UDPSocket. You should not create an instance of SocketCore. The compiler allows, but bad things will happen.

[edit] More on Methods

[edit] Close

The Close method does not invoke the Error event handler. This behavior differs from TCPSocket.Disconnect, which does invoke the TCPSocket.Error event handler.

[edit] Handle

On Mac OS X, the Handle integer value corresponds to the UNIX-level socket descriptor which you can use with getsockname or getsockopt (both declared in System.framework) , for example. If you ever need to work with CFSocket instead, pass the Handle value from REALbasic to the CFSocketCreateWithNative system function.
