HB_INETCREATE()

Create an INET socket

Syntax

      HB_INETCREATE( [ <nTimeout> ] ) -> SOCKET

Arguments

<nTimeout> Socket timeout (optional) TODO: what is the scale (seconds, milliseconds?)

Returns

An INET socket

Description

Creates the raw data of the socket, that can be passed to a asynchronous connection function (hb_InetConnect or hb_InetConnectIP). This will prevent the connection function from allocating some data that could be never used in certain cases, i.e. an asynchronously detected timeout.
