   * @name I/O operations
   *
   * Notes on common parameters:
   *
   * <handle> is the connected endpoint that will be used for I/O.
   *
   * <buf> is the buffer to write from or receive into.
   *
   * <len> is the number of bytes to transfer.
   *
   * The <timeout> parameter in the following methods indicates how
   * long to blocking trying to transfer data.  If <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, EWOULDBLOCK will be returned if no
   * action is immediately possible.
   *
   * If <timeout> != 0, the call will wait until the relative time
   * specified in *<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 EWOULDBLOCK.  <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, errno == ETIME.
   * - On error, -1 is returned, errno is set to appropriate error.
   * - On EOF, 0 is returned, errno is irrelevant.
   *
   * On partial transfers, i.e., if any data is transferred before
   * timeout/error/EOF, <bytes_transferred> will contain the number of
   * bytes transferred.
   *
   * Methods with <iovec> parameter are I/O vector variants of the I/O
   * operations.
   *
   * Methods with the extra <flags> argument will always result in
   * <send> getting called. Methods without the extra <flags> argument
   * will result in <send> getting called on Win32 platforms, and
   * <write> getting called on non-Win32 platforms.
