EXPORTS
       deliver(SocketType, Socket, Data) -> Result

              Types:

                 SocketType = socket_type()
                 Socket = socket()
                 Data = io_list() | binary()
                 Result = socket_closed | void()

              deliver/3 sends Data over Socket using the specified SocketType.
              Socket and SocketType is to be the socket  and  the  socket_type

                 Socket = socket()
                 Port = integer()
                 IPAddress = string()
