Detailed Description

RoutingSocket class opens a routing socket and forwards data arriving on the socket to RoutingSocketObservers. The RoutingSocket hooks itself into the EventLoop and activity usually happens asynchronously.

[const]

Write data to routing socket. Update sequence number associated with routing socket.

[const]

Get sequence number for next message written into kernel. Sequence number is derived of the instance number of the routing socket and a 16bit counter.

[const]

Get cached process identifier value.

Force socket to read data - usually performed after writing a request that the kernel will answer, eg after writing a route lookup.

Use sparingly, with caution, and at your own risk.
