Detailed Description

This file defines the SocketListener class.

This is an abstract virtual class; you must instantiate an appropriate subclass (currently TCPListener or UDSListener) to do the work. These classes will implement the listen_for_incoming() functionality that will block waiting for an incoming socket connection, and return the correct subclass of Connector (in this case, also a subclass of SocketConnector) to then be handed into a Connection/Outlet/BiDirConn to be managed as an existing connection.
