Socket class Null safety

A TCP connection between two sockets.

A socket connection connects a local socket to a remote socket. Data, as Uint8Lists, is received by the local socket, made available by the Stream interface of this class, and can be sent to the remote socket through the IOSink interface of this class.

Static Methods
