 * Transport layer socket.

 * Transport layer sockets are full-duplex, meaning data can be sent and

 * use the same TLS simultaneously, if one thread is receiving data while the
 * other is sending data. However receiving or sending data from two threads
 * concurrently is undefined behaviour.
 *
 * The following functions are treated as sending data:
 * - vlc_tls_Write(),
 * - vlc_tls_Shutdown(),
 * - callback vlc_tls_operations.writev,
 * - callback vlc_tls_operations.shutdown.
 *
 * The following functions are treated as receiving data:
 * - vlc_tls_Read(),
 * - vlc_tls_GetLine(),
 * - callback vlc_tls_operations.readv,
 * - vlc_tls_Shutdown() if the duplex flag is true,
 * - callback vlc_tls_operations.shutdown if the duplex flag is true.
