SOCKS is an Internet protocol that routes packets between a client and a server through a proxy server. SOCKS5, if supported, additionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server.
static VALUE
socks_init(VALUE sock, VALUE host, VALUE port)
{
    static int init = 0;
    if (init == 0) {
        SOCKSinit("ruby");
        init = 1;
    }
    return rsock_init_inetsock(sock, host, port, Qnil, Qnil, INET_SOCKS, Qnil);
} Opens a SOCKS connection to host via the SOCKS server.
The SOCKS server configuration varies by implementation
When using the Dante libsocks/libsocksd implementation it is configured as SOCKS_SERVER env var.
See: manpages.debian.org/testing/dante-client/socksify.1.en.html for full env variable support.

{
    rb_io_t *fptr;
    GetOpenFile(sock, fptr);
    shutdown(fptr->fd, 2);
    return rb_io_close(sock);
} Closes the SOCKS connection.
