# Summary

## Functions

deliver(SocketType, Socket, Data)

`deliver/3` sends `Data` over `Socket` using the specified `SocketType`. `Socket` and `SocketType` is to be the socket and the `socket_type` form the `mod` record as defined in `httpd.hrl`

peername(SocketType, Socket)

`peername/2` returns the `Port` and `IPAddress` of the remote `Socket`.

resolve()

`resolve/0` returns the official `HostName` of the current host.

# Functions

# deliver(SocketType, Socket, Data)

    -spec deliver(SocketType, Socket, Data) -> Result
                     when
                         SocketType :: httpd:socket_type(),
                         Socket :: inet:socket(),
                         Data :: iolist() | binary(),
                         Result :: ok | socket_closed.

`deliver/3` sends `Data` over `Socket` using the specified `SocketType`. `Socket` and `SocketType` is to be the socket and the `socket_type` form the `mod` record as defined in `httpd.hrl`

# peername(SocketType, Socket)

    -spec peername(SocketType, Socket) -> {Port, IpAdress}
                      when
                          SocketType :: httpd:socket_type(),
                          Socket :: inet:socket() | ssl:sslsocket(),
                          Port :: inet:port_number(),
                          IpAdress :: inet:ip4_address() | inet:ip6_address() | string().

`peername/2` returns the `Port` and `IPAddress` of the remote `Socket`.

# resolve()

    -spec resolve() -> HostName when HostName :: inet:hostname().

`resolve/0` returns the official `HostName` of the current host.
