## sockaddr_in

    sockaddr_in (port, addr_string)

    pack_sockaddr_in (port, addr_string)

Takes a port number and a four-byte addr_string (as returned by `inet_aton`) and returns the socket address structure including those arguments packed with the AF_INET argument. This structure is normally what you need for the arguments in `bind`, `connect`, and `send`, and is also returned by `getpeername`, `getsockname`, and `recv`.
