/** \brief Generic SocketHandle with client interface
- \todo Move all not template-parameter dependent code into a
- non-template base class
+ This class provides the client side policy interface of the socket
+ abstraction. ClientSocketHandle defines the complete policy interface. It does not implement
+ any functionality itself however. All calls are forward to the following policy classes:
+
+ <table class="senf">
+ <tr><th>ClientSocketHandle member</th> <th>Policy member</th></tr>
+ <tr><td>read()</td> <td>ReadPolicy::read (\ref senf::ReadPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>readfrom()</td> <td>ReadPolicy::readfrom (\ref senf::ReadPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>write()</td> <td>WritePolicy::write (\ref senf::WritePolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>writeto()</td> <td>WritePolicy::writeto (\ref senf::WritePolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>connect()</td> <td>AddressingPolicy::connect (\ref senf::AddressingPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>bind()</td> <td>AddressingPolicy::bind (\ref senf::AddressingPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>peer()</td> <td>AddressingPolicy::peer (\ref senf::AddressingPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>local()</td> <td>AddressingPolicy::local (\ref senf::AddressingPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>rcvbuf()</td> <td>BufferingPolicy::sndbuf (\ref senf::BufferingPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ <tr><td>sndbuf()</td> <td>BufferingPolicy::rcvbuf (\ref senf::BufferingPolicyBase)</td></tr>
+ </table>
+
+ It is important to note, that not all members are always accessible. Which are depends on
+ the \c Policy template argument. If any of the policy axis is left unspecified the
+ corresponding members will not be callable (you will get a compile time error). Even if
+ every policy axis is defined, some members might (and will) not exist if they are
+ meaningless for the protocol of the socket. This depends on the exact policy.
+
+ To find out, which members are available, you have to check the documentation of the policy
+ classes. You can also find a summary of all members available in the leaf protocol class
+ documentation.
+
+ \todo Move all not template-parameter dependent code into a non-template base class
+
+ \idea Give SocketHandle (and therefore ClientSocketHandle and ServerSocketHandle) a \c
+ protocol() template member and an additional template arg \c Policies. This arg should be a
+ typelist of Poclicy classes which can be accessed. You use protocol<ProtocolClass>() to
+ access a protocol class. \c Policies can of course be underspecified or even empty.
+
+ \idea add more flexible read/write members for a) boost::arrays and arrays of other types b)
+ std::vector (which uses contiguous memory ..) c) other random-access containers (we should
+ use some configurable trait class to identify containers with contiguous storage). Probably
+ we should just use a generic Boost.Range interface. Here we again come to the point: make
+ all except the most basic members be non-member algorithms ? this would make the
+ configuration of such extenden members more flexible.
