• su_ioctl(): ioctl to a socket
• su_setreuseaddr(): set/reset reusing the addresses/ports for a socket
• su_setblocking(): enables/disables blocking
• su_is_blocking(): checks if the previous call failed because it would have blocked
• su_errno(): the latest socket error
• su_perror(): prints the latest socket error message to stderr
• su_strerror(): returns the given socket error message
• su_perror2(): prints the given socket error message to stderr
• su_soerror(): returns the error code associated with the socket
• su_getmsgsize(): return the number of bytes that can be recv()ed from a socket
• su_getlocalip(): return an IP address belonging to the local host
• su_send(), su_sendto(): type-compatible send()
