Contains both the functions that transmit data to the socket and read the data
back out again once finished, and the function which opens the socket initially.
Can be linked to a FORTRAN code that does not support sockets natively.
Functions:
error: Prints an error message and then exits.
open_socket_: Opens a socket with the required host server, socket type and
port number.
write_buffer_: Writes a string to the socket.
read_buffer_: Reads data from the socket.

Note that fortran passes an extra argument for the string length, but this is
ignored here for C compatibility.
Args:
psockfd: The id of the socket that will be created.
inet: An integer that determines whether the socket will be an inet or unix
domain socket. Gives unix if 0, inet otherwise.
port: The port number for the socket to be created. Low numbers are often
reserved for important channels, so use of numbers of 4 or more digits is
recommended.
host: The name of the host server.
