This function is used to asynchronously connect a socket to the specified remote endpoint. The function call always returns immediately.

The socket is automatically opened if it is not already open. If the connect fails, and the socket was automatically opened, the socket is returned to the closed state.

Parameters:
peer_endpoint The remote endpoint to which the socket will be connected. Copies will be made of the endpoint object as required.
handler The handler to be called when the connection operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be: 
 void handler(
   const asio::error_code& error // Result of operation
 );
Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using asio::io_service::post().
Example
 void connect_handler(const asio::error_code& error)
 {
   if (!error)
   {
     // Connect succeeded.
   }
 }

template<typename Protocol, typename SocketService>
endpoint_type asio::basic_socket< Protocol, SocketService >::local_endpoint ( asio::error_code &  ec  )  const [inline]

Get the local endpoint of the socket.

This function is used to obtain the locally bound endpoint of the socket.

Parameters:
ec Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.
Returns:
An object that represents the local endpoint of the socket. Returns a default-constructed endpoint object if an error occurred.
Example
 asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
 ...
 asio::error_code ec;
 asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint = socket.local_endpoint(ec);
 if (ec)
 {
   // An error occurred.
 }

template<typename Protocol, typename SocketService>
endpoint_type asio::basic_socket< Protocol, SocketService >::remote_endpoint (  )  const [inline]

Get the remote endpoint of the socket.

This function is used to obtain the remote endpoint of the socket.

Returns:
An object that represents the remote endpoint of the socket.
Exceptions:
asio::system_error Thrown on failure.
Example
 asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
 ...
 asio::ip::tcp::endpoint endpoint = socket.remote_endpoint();

template<typename Protocol, typename SocketService>
void asio::basic_socket< Protocol, SocketService >::shutdown ( shutdown_type  what  )  [inline]

Disable sends or receives on the socket.

This function is used to disable send operations, receive operations, or both.

Parameters:
what Determines what types of operation will no longer be allowed.
Exceptions:
asio::system_error Thrown on failure.
Example
Shutting down the send side of the socket: 
 asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
 ...
 socket.shutdown(asio::ip::tcp::socket::shutdown_send);

This function is used to disable send operations, receive operations, or both.

Parameters:
what Determines what types of operation will no longer be allowed.
ec Set to indicate what error occurred, if any.
Example
Shutting down the send side of the socket: 
 asio::ip::tcp::socket socket(io_service);
 ...
 asio::error_code ec;
 socket.shutdown(asio::ip::tcp::socket::shutdown_send, ec);
 if (ec)
 {
   // An error occurred.
