Detailed Description

A ClientSocket represents a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) client endpoint of a StreamSocket.

Example: 

 micxx::InetAddress inetAddress("127.0.0.1", 8000);
 micxx::ClientSocket socket;
 socket.connect(inetAddress);
 ...
 socket.send(...);
 socket.recv(...);
 ...
 socket.close();
Note:
Although ClientSocket is derived from Mutex, itself does no locking at all. If you intend to use ClientSocket concurrently from different threads, you could use the inherited Mutex to synchronize access to the instance (depending on the scenario in which it is used).
