socket object is automatically selected based on the address family
specified when the socket object was created.
For IP addresses, two special forms are accepted instead of a host
address: the empty string represents \code{INADDR_ANY}, and the string
\code{"<broadcast>"} represents \code{INADDR_BROADCAST}.

argument types and out-of-memory conditions can be raised; errors
related to socket or address semantics raise the error \code{socket.error}.
