+.SH "Detailed Description"
+.PP
+The actual socketengine class presents the same interface on all operating systems, but its private members and internal behaviour should be treated as blackboxed, and vary from system to system and upon the config settings chosen by the server admin.
+
+The current version supports select, epoll and kqueue.

+Constructor The constructor transparently initializes the socket engine which the ircd is using.
+.PP
+Please note that if there is a catastrophic failure (for example, you try and enable epoll on a 2.4 linux kernel) then this function may bail back to the shell.

+You must provide a type (see the consts in \fBsocketengine.h\fP) and a boolean flag to indicate wether to watch this fd for read or write events (there is currently no need for support of both).
