[section:SocketService Socket service requirements]

A socket service must meet the requirements for an [link
boost_asio.reference.IoObjectService I/O object service], as well as the
additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, `X` denotes a socket service class for protocol [link
boost_asio.reference.Protocol `Protocol`], `a` denotes a value of type `X`,
`b` denotes a value of type `X::implementation_type`, `p` denotes a value of
type `Protocol`, `n` denotes a value of type `X::native_type`, `e` denotes a
value of type `Protocol::endpoint`, `ec` denotes a value of type `error_code`,
`s` denotes a value meeting [link boost_asio.reference.SettableSocketOption
`SettableSocketOption`] requirements, `g` denotes a value meeting [link
boost_asio.reference.GettableSocketOption `GettableSocketOption`]
requirements, `i` denotes a value meeting [link
boost_asio.reference.IoControlCommand `IoControlCommand`] requirements, `h`
denotes a value of type `socket_base::shutdown_type`, `ch` denotes a value
meeting [link boost_asio.reference.ConnectHandler `ConnectHandler`]
requirements, and `u` and `v` denote identifiers.
