Daniel, I have also been looking at this issue. Although Cocoa does have
NSFileHandle, it is only for TCP (no UDP), and does not allow you to
manipulate the socket's settings.
In addition, I've been searching in vain on *.apple.com for where I'm
certain I once read a statement that those wishing to do socket
programming should use the BSD-layer functions.
So, having looked at this issue extensively (but qualifying that by saying
I'm very new to Cocoa), it looks like the Unix level system calls are what'
s available to you here. And in that regard there is no better reference
than the late Richard Stevens. His book, Unix Network Programming, is The
Corpus of all things sockets on Unix.
For Obj-C classes, out at Sourceforge there is the beginnings of a sockets
class, called Small Sockets, that might help you. It's at
http://smallsockets.sf.net. Then of course there is Omni's OmniNetworking
classes, at
http://www.omnigroup.com.
Good luck,
RR

creating/using sockets in Obj-C?
