Typedefs
using	io::socket::native_socket_type = int
	The native socket handle type for POSIX systems.
using	io::socket::socket_buffer_type = std::span< char, std::dynamic_extent >
	The socket buffer type for POSIX systems.
using	io::socket::socket_message_type = msghdr
	The socket message type for POSIX systems.
using	io::socket::sockaddr_type = sockaddr
	The generic socket address structure for POSIX systems.
using	io::socket::sockaddr_storage_type = sockaddr_storage
	The socket address storage structure for POSIX systems.
using	io::socket::socklen_type = socklen_t
	The type used to represent socket-related sizes on POSIX systems.

Functions
auto	io::socket::close (native_socket_type socket) noexcept -> int
	Closes a socket descriptor on POSIX systems.
template<typename... Args>
auto	io::socket::fcntl (native_socket_type socket, int cmd, Args &&...args) noexcept -> int
	Provides a C++ wrapper for the POSIX fcntl function.
auto	io::socket::sendmsg (native_socket_type socket, const socket_message_type *msg, int flags) noexcept -> std::streamsize
	Sends a message on a socket.
auto	io::socket::recvmsg (native_socket_type socket, socket_message_type *msg, int flags) noexcept -> std::streamsize
