            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This is an iostream object that reads/writes from a TCP network connection.

                Note that any attempt to read from this stream will automatically flush the
                stream's output buffers.  

            THREAD SAFETY
                It is not safe for multiple threads to make concurrent accesses to the same
                instance of this object (except for calls to shutdown() which are always
                threadsafe).  Therefore, you should mutex lock an instance of this object
                if you need to touch it from multiple threads.
