the openSockets
openSockets()
Description
Use the openSockets function to find out which sockets need to be closed, or to check whether a socket is already open before reading from it or writing to it.
Each line of the list returned by the openSockets function is a socket identifier. A socket identifier consists of the host and port number the socket is connected to, separated by a colon. If a connection name or number was assigned when the socket was opened, it is appended to the identifier, separated from the port number by a vertical bar (|).
Several of the commands and functions in the Internet library use sockets, so the openSockets func may return sockets opened by the Internet library in addition to any sockets you have opened with the open socket com.
