+[opt_def -mode [arg mode]]
+
+This option specifies the mode the object is in. It is optional and
+defaults to [const active] mode. The two possible modes are:
+
+[list_begin definitions]
+[def [const active]]
+
+In this mode the two options [option -host] and [option -port] are
+relevant and specify the host and TCP port the object has to connect
+to. The host is given by either name or IP address.
+
+[def [const passive]]
+
+In this mode the option [option -host] has no relevance and is ignored
+should it be configured.
+
+The only option the object needs is [option -port], and it specifies
+the TCP port on which the listening socket is opened to await the
+connection from the partner.
+
+[list_end]
+
+[opt_def -host [arg hostname-or-ipaddr]]
+
+This option specifies the host to connect to in [term active] mode,
+either by name or ip-address. An object configured for [term passive]
+mode ignores this option.
+
+[opt_def -port [arg int]]
+
+For [term active] mode this option specifies the port the object is
+expected to connect to. For [term passive] mode however it is the port
+where the object creates the listening socket waiting for a
+connection. It defaults to [const 0], which allows the OS to choose
+the actual port to listen on.
+
+[opt_def -socketcmd [arg command]]
+
+This option allows the user to specify which command to use to open a
+socket. The default is to use the builtin [cmd ::socket]. Any
+compatible with that command is allowed.
+
+[para]
+
+The envisioned main use is the specfication of [cmd tls::socket]. I.e.
+this option allows the creation of secure transfer channels, without
+making this package explicitly dependent on the [package tls] package.
+
+[para]
+
+See also section [sectref {Secure connections}].
+
+
+[opt_def -encoding encodingname]
+[opt_def -eofchar eofspec]
+[opt_def -translation transspec]
+
+These options are the same as are recognized by the builtin command
+[cmd fconfigure]. They provide the configuration to be set for the
+channel between the two partners after it has been established, but
+before the callback is invoked (See method [method connect]).

+open the socket.
