\value{Logical the same length as \code{socklist} indicating
25 
  whether the corresponding socket connection is available for
26 
  output or input, depending on the corresponding value of \code{write}.

}
28 
\details{
29 
  The values in \code{write} are recycled if necessary to make up a
30 
  logical vector the same length as \code{socklist}. Socket connections
31 
  can appear more than once in \code{socklist}; this can be useful if
32 
  you want to determine whether a socket is available for reading or
33 
  writing.
