   * @name I/O operations
   *
   * Notes on common parameters:
   *
   * @a handle is the connected endpoint that will be used for I/O.
   *
   * @a buf is the buffer to write from or receive into.
   *
   * @a len is the number of bytes to transfer.
   *
   * The @a timeout parameter in the following methods indicates how
   * long to blocking trying to transfer data.  If @a timeout == 0,
   * then the call behaves as a normal send/recv call, i.e., for
   * blocking sockets, the call will block until action is possible;
   * for non-blocking sockets, @c EWOULDBLOCK will be returned if no
   * action is immediately possible.
   *
   * If @a timeout != 0, the call will wait until the relative time
   * specified in  @a *timeout elapses.
   *
   * The "_n()" I/O methods keep looping until all the data has been
   * transferred.  These methods also work for sockets in non-blocking
   * mode i.e., they keep looping on @c EWOULDBLOCK.  @a timeout is
   * used to make sure we keep making progress, i.e., the same timeout
   * value is used for every I/O operation in the loop and the timeout
   * is not counted down.
   *
   * The return values for the "*_n()" methods match the return values
   * from the non "_n()" methods and are specified as follows:
   *
   * - On complete transfer, the number of bytes transferred is returned.
   * - On timeout, -1 is returned, @c errno == @c ETIME.
   * - On error, -1 is returned, @c errno is set to appropriate error.
   * - On @c EOF, 0 is returned, @c errno is irrelevant.
   *
   * On partial transfers, i.e., if any data is transferred before
   * timeout / error / @c EOF, @a bytes_transferred> will contain the
   * number of bytes transferred.
   *
   * Methods with @a iovec parameter are I/O vector variants of the
   * I/O operations.
   *
   * Methods with the extra @a flags argument will always result in
   * @c send getting called. Methods without the extra @a flags
   * argument will result in @c send getting called on Win32
   * platforms, and @c write getting called on non-Win32 platforms.
