 * \brief It copies the amount of data contained into 'buffer' into 'tempbuf'.

 * This function basically copies 'size' bytes of data contained into 'buffer'
 * into 'tempbuf', starting at offset 'offset'. Before that, it checks that the
 * resulting buffer will not be larger	than 'totsize'. Finally, it updates
 * the 'offset' variable in order to point to the first empty location of the buffer.
 *
 * In case the function is called with 'checkonly' equal to 1, it does not copy
 * the data into the buffer. It only checks for buffer overflows and it updates the
 * 'offset' variable. This mode can be useful when the buffer already contains the
 * data (maybe because the producer writes directly into the target buffer), so
 * only the buffer overflow check has to be made.
 * In this case, both 'buffer' and 'tempbuf' can be NULL values.
 *
 * This function is useful in case the userland application does not know immediately
 * all the data it has to write into the socket. This function provides a way to create
 * the "stream" step by step, appending the new data to the old one. Then, when all the
 * data has been bufferized, the application can call the sock_send() function.

 * has to be copied.
 *
 * \param offset: an index into 'tempbuf' which keeps the location of its first
 * empty location.
 *
 * \param totsize: total size of the buffer in which data is being copied.
 *
 * \param checkonly: '1' if we do not want to copy data into the buffer and we
 * want just do a buffer ovreflow control, '0' if data has to be copied as well.
 *
 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.

 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
 *
 * \return '0' if everything is fine, '-1' if some errors occurred. The error message
 * is returned in the 'errbuf' variable. When the function returns, 'tempbuf' will
 * have the new string appended, and 'offset' will keep the length of that buffer.
 * In case of 'checkonly == 1', data is not copied, but 'offset' is updated in any case.

 *
 * The behavior of this function depends on the parameters we have in the 'Flags' variable, which
 * are the ones allowed in the standard getnameinfo() socket function.
 *
 * \param sockaddr: a 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structure containing the address that
 * need to be translated from network form into the presentation form. This structure must be
 * zero-ed prior using it, and the address family field must be filled with the proper value.
 * The user must cast any 'sockaddr_in' or 'sockaddr_in6' structures to 'sockaddr_storage' before
 * calling this function.
 *
 * \param address: it contains the address that will be returned by the function. This buffer
 * must be properly allocated by the user. The address can be either literal or numeric depending
 * on the value of 'Flags'.
 *
 * \param addrlen: the length of the 'address' buffer.
 *
 * \param port: it contains the port that will be returned by the function. This buffer
 * must be properly allocated by the user.
 *
 * \param portlen: the length of the 'port' buffer.
 *
 * \param flags: a set of flags (the ones defined into the getnameinfo() standard socket function)
 * that determine if the resulting address must be in numeric / literal form, and so on.
 *
 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
 *
 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
 *
 * \return It returns '-1' if this function succeeds, '0' otherwise.
 * The address and port corresponding to the given SockAddr are returned back in the buffers 'address'
 * and 'port'.
 * In any case, the returned strings are '0' terminated.

/*
 * \brief It translates an address from the 'presentation' form into the 'network' form.
 *
 * This function basically replaces inet_pton(), which does not exist in Winsock because
 * the same result can be obtained by using the getaddrinfo().
 * An additional advantage is that 'Address' can be both a numeric address (e.g. '127.0.0.1',
 * like in inet_pton() ) and a literal name (e.g. 'localhost').
 *
 * This function does the reverse job of sock_getascii_addrport().
 *
 * \param address: a zero-terminated string which contains the name you have to
 * translate. The name can be either literal (e.g. 'localhost') or numeric (e.g. '::1').
 *
 * \param sockaddr: a user-allocated sockaddr_storage structure which will contains the
 * 'network' form of the requested address.
 *
 * \param addr_family: a constant which can assume the following values:
 * - 'AF_INET' if we want to ping an IPv4 host
 * - 'AF_INET6' if we want to ping an IPv6 host
 * - 'AF_UNSPEC' if we do not have preferences about the protocol used to ping the host
 *
 * \param errbuf: a pointer to an user-allocated buffer that will contain the complete
 * error message. This buffer has to be at least 'errbuflen' in length.
 * It can be NULL; in this case the error cannot be printed.
 *
 * \param errbuflen: length of the buffer that will contains the error. The error message cannot be
 * larger than 'errbuflen - 1' because the last char is reserved for the string terminator.
 *
 * \return '-1' if the translation succeeded, '-2' if there was some non critical error, '0'
 * otherwise. In case it fails, the content of the SockAddr variable remains unchanged.
 * A 'non critical error' can occur in case the 'Address' is a literal name, which can be mapped
 * to several network addresses (e.g. 'foo.bar.com' => '10.2.2.2' and '10.2.2.3'). In this case
 * the content of the SockAddr parameter will be the address corresponding to the first mapping.
 *
 * \warning The sockaddr_storage structure MUST be allocated by the user.
