An error code is set whenever a socket operation fails for some missing functionality, bad parameter, etc.
NET_PRES_SocketOpenOpens a presentation socket.
NET_PRES_SocketOptionsGetAllows the options for a socket such as, current RX/TX buffer size, etc., to be obtained.
NET_PRES_SocketOptionsSetAllows setting options to a socket like adjust RX/TX buffer size, etc.
NET_PRES_SocketPeekReads a specified number of data bytes from the RX buffer/FIFO without removing them from the buffer.
NET_PRES_SocketReadReads an array of data bytes from a socket's RX buffer/FIFO.
NET_PRES_SocketReadIsReadyDetermines how many bytes can be read from the RX buffer.
NET_PRES_SocketRemoteBindBinds a socket to a remote local address.
NET_PRES_SocketSignalHandlerDeregisterDeregisters a previously registered socket signal handler.
NET_PRES_SocketSignalHandlerRegisterRegisters a socket signal handler.
NET_PRES_SocketWasResetSelf-clearing semaphore indicating socket reset.
NET_PRES_SocketWriteTakes a buffer and sends it to the encryption provider.
NET_PRES_SocketWriteIsReadyDetermines how much free space is available in the TX buffer.
Certificate Store Functions
NET_PRES_CertStoreGetCACertsThis function gets the CA certificates from the store,
