localHost :: IO [Char]

newNetChan :: Binary t => IO (NetRecv t, NetSend t)

Creates a new channel, with receive and send ends.

newNetSend :: HostName -> IO (NetSend t)

Open a channel to another host

newNetRecv :: Binary t => IO (NetRecv t)

Creates a receive end of this host's channel. Type unsafe!

send :: Binary t => NetSend t -> t -> IO ()

Sends something on a channel.

recv :: NetRecv a -> IO a

Receives something from a channel.

recvSend :: NetRecv (NetSend t) -> IO (NetSend t)

Receives the send end of a channel, on a channel.

sendRecv :: NetSend (NetRecv t) -> NetRecv t -> IO ()

Sends the receive end of a channel, on a channel.

recvRecv :: Binary t => NetRecv (NetRecv t) -> IO (NetRecv t)

Receives the receive end of a channel, on a channel.

activateSend :: NetSend t -> IO (NetSend t)

get produces channel ends with some data missing. Use these to make them usable.

activateRecv :: Binary t => NetRecv t -> IO (NetRecv t)
