SSL Sockets
-----------
-SSL sockets provide the following methods of :ref:`socket-objects`:
-
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.accept()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.bind()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.close()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.connect()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.detach()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.fileno()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.getpeername()`, :meth:`~socket.socket.getsockname()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.getsockopt()`, :meth:`~socket.socket.setsockopt()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.gettimeout()`, :meth:`~socket.socket.settimeout()`,
- :meth:`~socket.socket.setblocking()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.listen()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.makefile()`
-- :meth:`~socket.socket.recv()`, :meth:`~socket.socket.recv_into()`
