.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
InspSocket is an extendable socket class which modules can use for TCP socket support. 

It is fully integrated into InspIRCds socket loop and attaches its sockets to the core's instance of the \fBSocketEngine\fP class, meaning that any sockets you create have the same power and abilities as a socket created by the core itself. To use InspSocket, you must inherit a class from it, and use the InspSocket constructors to establish connections and bindings.

Within this method, you *MUST* call the \fBRead()\fP method to read any pending data. At its lowest level, this event is signalled by the core via the socket engine.

If your socket is a listening socket, when a new connection comes in on the socket this method will be called. 
.PP
Given the new file descriptor in the parameters, and the IP, it is recommended you copy them to a new instance of your socket class, e.g.:
.PP
MySocket* newsocket = new MySocket(newfd,ip);
.PP
Once you have done this, you can then associate the new socket with the core using \fBServer::AddSocket()\fP.
