### Functions

close | `abstract fun close(): Unit` Close the client. Any sockets which have not been closed manually will be closed here. The close is asynchronous and may not complete until some time after the method has returned.
connect | `abstract fun connect(port: Int, host: String, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient` `abstract fun connect(port: Int, host: String, serverName: String, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient` Open a connection to a server at the specific `port` and `host`. `host` can be a valid host name or IP address. The connect is done asynchronously and on success, a NetSocket instance is supplied via the `connectHandler` instance `abstract fun connect(remoteAddress: SocketAddress, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient` `abstract fun connect(remoteAddress: SocketAddress, serverName: String, connectHandler: Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>>): NetClient` Open a connection to a server at the specific `remoteAddress`. The connect is done asynchronously and on success, a NetSocket instance is supplied via the `connectHandler` instance
