## Class: dgram.Socket

datagram functionality.

### Event: 'close'
<!-- YAML
added: v0.1.99
-->

The `'close'` event is emitted after a socket is closed with [`close()`][].
Once triggered, no new `'message'` events will be emitted on this socket.

### Event: 'error'
<!-- YAML
added: v0.1.99

* `exception` {Error}

The `'error'` event is emitted whenever any error occurs. The event handler
function is passed a single Error object.

### Event: 'listening'
<!-- YAML
added: v0.1.99
-->

The `'listening'` event is emitted whenever a socket begins listening for
datagram messages. This occurs as soon as UDP sockets are created.

### socket.address()
<!-- YAML

Returns an object containing the address information for a socket.
For UDP sockets, this object will contain `address`, `family` and `port`
properties.

The callback argument was actually added in version 0.9.1. I'm not sure what version to use.
There are other inconsistencies like this below.

I think this should be noted as updated: v0.9.1 even thought we have not that option :-(

IIRC, we have not documenting when an argument or something like a property in an options object is added.

Yeah, we don't currently document changes well. It'd be nice if we had per-function changelogs, like PHP.
