/**
 * # CategorySDLNet
 *
 * SDL_net is a simple library to help with networking.
 *
 * In current times, it's a relatively thin layer over system-level APIs like
 * BSD Sockets or WinSock. Its primary strength is in making those interfaces
 * less complicated to use, and handling several unexpected corner cases, so
 * the app doesn't have to.
 *
 * Some design philosophies of SDL_net:
 *
 * - Nothing is blocking (but you can explicitly wait on things if you want).
 * - Addressing is abstract so you don't have to worry about specific networks
 *   and their specific protocols.
 * - Simple is better than hard, and not necessarily less powerful either.
 *
 * There are several pieces to this library, and most apps won't use them all,
 * but rather choose the portion that's relevant to their needs.
 *
 * All apps will call NET_Init() on startup and NET_Quit() on shutdown.
 *
 * The cornerstone of the library is the NET_Address object. This is what
 * manages the details of how to reach another computer on the network, and
 * what network protocol to use to get there. You'll need a NET_Address to
 * talk over the network. If you need to convert a hostname (such as
 * "google.com" or "libsdl.org") into a NET_Address, you can call
 * NET_ResolveHostname(), which will do the appropriate DNS queries on a
 * background thread. Once these are ready, you can use the NET_Address to
 * connect to these hosts over the Internet.
 *
 * Something that initiates a connection to a remote system is called a
 * "client," connecting to a "server." To establish a connection, use the
 * NET_Address you resolved with NET_CreateClient(). Once the connection is
 * established (a non-blocking operation), you'll have a NET_StreamSocket
 * object that can send and receive data over the connection, using
 * NET_WriteToStreamSocket() and NET_ReadFromStreamSocket().
 *
 * To instead be a server, that clients connect to, call NET_CreateServer() to
 * get a NET_Server object. All a NET_Server does is allow you to accept
 * connections from clients, turning them into NET_StreamSockets, where you
 * can read and write from the opposite side of the connection from a given
 * client.
 *
 * These things are, underneath this API, TCP connections, which means you can
 * use a client or server to talk to something that _isn't_ using SDL_net at
 * all.
 *
 * Clients and servers deal with "stream sockets," a reliable stream of bytes.
 * There are tradeoffs to using these, especially in poor network conditions.
 * Another option is to use "datagram sockets," which map to UDP packet
 * transmission. With datagrams, everyone involved can send small packets of
 * data that may arrive in any order, or not at all, but transmission can
 * carry on if a packet is lost, each packet is clearly separated from every
 * other, and communication can happen in a peer-to-peer model instead of
 * client-server: while datagrams can be more complex, these _are_ useful
 * properties not avaiable to stream sockets. NET_CreateDatagramSocket() is
 * used to prepare for datagram communication, then NET_SendDatagram() and
 * NET_ReceiveDatagram() transmit packets.
 *
 * As previously mentioned, SDL_net's API is "non-blocking" (asynchronous).
 * Any network operation might take time, but SDL_net's APIs will not wait
 * until they complete. Any operation will return immediately, with options to
 * check if the operation has completed later. Generally this is what a video
 * game needs, but there are times where it makes sense to pause until an
 * operation completes; in a background thread this might make sense, as it
 * could simplify the code dramatically.
 *
 * The functions that block until an operation completes:
 *
 * - NET_WaitUntilConnected
 * - NET_WaitUntilInputAvailable
 * - NET_WaitUntilResolved
 * - NET_WaitUntilStreamSocketDrained
 *
 * All of these functions offer a timeout, which allow for a maximum wait
 * time, an immediate non-blocking query, or an infinite wait.
 *
 * Finally, SDL_net offers a way to simulate network problems, to test the
 * always-less-than-ideal conditions in the real world. One can
 * programmatically make the app behave like it's on a flakey wifi connection
 * even if it's running wired directly to a gigabit fiber line. The functions:
 *
 * - NET_SimulateAddressResolutionLoss
 * - NET_SimulateStreamPacketLoss
 * - NET_SimulateDatagramPacketLoss

 * This call never blocks; if it can't send the data immediately, the library
 * will queue it for later transmission. There is no query to see what is
 * still queued, as datagram transmission is unreliable, so you should never
 * assume anything about queued data.
 *
 * If there's a fatal error, this function will return false. Datagram sockets
 * generally won't report failures, because there is no state like a
 * "connection" to fail at this level, but may report failure for
 * unrecoverable system-level conditions; once a datagram socket fails, you
 * should assume it is no longer usable and should destroy it with
 * SDL_DestroyDatagramSocket().
 *
 * Sending to a NULL address is treated as a request to broadcast a packet.
 * Note that this will report failure immediately if the socket was not
 * created with broadcast permission. Broadcast packets are (more or less)
 * sent to every machine on the LAN, unconditionally.
 *
 * **WARNING**: It is possible to build a game where everyone is playing on
 * the same LAN, and every player is simply broadcasting packets. This is
 * absolutely the wrong thing to do, however. Broadcast packets go to every
 * device on the LAN, whether they want them or not. The game DOOM, in its
 * heyday, was capable of
 * [bringing entire networks to their knees](https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_in_workplaces)
 * , as many players on the same network would all be broadcasting
 * relentlessly.
 *
 * In practice, broadcasting sparingly can be useful for certain
 * functionality: a LAN-only client broadcasting a few packets to ask for
 * available servers, and running servers replying directly to that client
 * without broadcasting at all, is reasonable and safe. Once clients and
 * servers have found each other, they can communicate directly without any
 * broadcasting at all. For peer-to-peer games, once connection is
 * established, it's better to either send unique packets to each known
 * player, or use a multicasting (which works like broadcast, but only routes
 * packets to devices that are explicitly listening for it).
 *
 * With IPv6, which doesn't support broadcasts, broadcasting is faked with
 * multicast to the all-nodes link-local multicast group, ff02::1, either on a
 * specific interface or letting the OS choose the default. Other protocols
 * might fake broadcast operations in similar ways in the future.

 *
 * This allows you to give it a list of objects and wait for new input to
 * become available on any of them. The calling thread is put to sleep until
 * such a time.
 *
 * The following things can be specified in the `vsockets` array, cast to
 * `void *`:
 *
 * - NET_Server (reports new input when a connection is ready to be accepted
 *   with NET_AcceptClient())
 * - NET_StreamSocket (reports new input when the remote end has sent more

 *   finished making its initial connection).
 * - NET_DatagramSocket (reports new input when a new packet arrives that can
 *   be read with NET_ReceiveDatagram).
 *
 * This function takes a timeout value, represented in milliseconds, of how
 * long to wait for resolution to complete. Specifying a timeout of -1
 * instructs the library to wait indefinitely, and a timeout of 0 just checks
 * the current status and returns immediately.
 *
 * This returns the number of items that have new input, but it does not tell
 * you which ones; since access to them is non-blocking, you can just try to
 * read from each of them and see which are ready. If nothing is ready and the
 * timeout is reached, this returns zero. On error, this returns -1.
 *
 * \param vsockets an array of pointers to various objects that can be waited
 *                 on, each cast to a void pointer.
 * \param numsockets the number of pointers in the `vsockets` array.
