=head1 NAME

X11::Protocol::Connection::Socket - Perl module base class for IO::Socket-based X11 connections

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package X11::Protocol::Connection::WeirdSocket;
  use X11::Protocol::Connection::Socket;
  @ISA = ('X11::Protocol::Connection::Socket')

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module defines get(), give() and fh() methods common to
X11::Protocol::Connection types that are based on IO::Socket. They
expect the object they are called with to be a reference to an
IO::Socket.
