TODO - a short description

C# Definition:

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
    internal struct sockaddr
    {
        internal EnumLib.ADDRESS_FAMILIES sa_family;

        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 14)] internal String sa_data;
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
    internal unsafe struct sockaddr_UNSAFE
    {
        internal EnumLib.ADDRESS_FAMILIES sa_family;
        internal fixed char sa_data [14];

        internal string Name
