  Description     : sendmsg, recvmsg and ancillary data operations

  Socket::MsgHdr provides advanced socket messaging operations via sendmsg and
  recvmsg. Like their C counterparts, these functions accept few parameters,
  instead stuffing a lot of information into a complex structure.
  .
  This structure describes the message sent or received (buf), the peer on the
  other end of the socket (name), and ancillary or so-called control
  information (cmsghdr). This ancillary data may be used for file descriptor
  passing, IPv6 operations, and a host of implemenation-specific extensions.
