The address format required by a particular 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}. + All errors raise exceptions. The normal exceptions for invalid argument types and out-of-memory conditions can be raised; errors related to socket or address semantics raise the error \code{socket.error}. |
