In high RPS environments, the default listen backlog is not sufficient, so
giving users the power to configure it is the right approach, especially
since it requires only minor modifications to the code.
The new function is used when we want to normalize an IP address without
performing a DNS lookup if the string to resolve is not a valid IP.
This is useful every time only IPs are valid inputs or when we want to
skip DNS resolution that is slow during runtime operations if we are
required to block.
Now the socket is closed if anetNonBlock() fails, and in general the
code structure makes it harder to introduce this kind of bugs in the
future.
Reference: pull request #1059.
Change the sockaddr_in to sockaddr_storage which is capable of storing
both AF_INET and AF_INET6 sockets. Uses the sockaddr_storage ss_family
to correctly return the printable IP address and port.

Change the getaddrinfo(3) hints family from AF_INET to AF_UNSPEC to
allow resolution of IPv6 addresses as well as IPv4 addresses. The
function will return the IP address of whichever address family is
preferenced by the operating system. Most current operating systems
will preference AF_INET6 over AF_INET.
Unfortunately without attempting to establish a connection to the
remote address we can't know if the host is capable of using the
returned IP address. It might be desirable to have anetResolve
accept an additional argument specifying the AF_INET/AF_INET6 address
the caller would like to receive. Currently though it does not appear
as though the anetResolve function is ever used within Redis.
Replace inet_ntoa(3) calls with the more future proof inet_ntop(3)
function which is capable of handling additional address families.
API Change: anetTcpAccept() & anetPeerToString() additional argument
additional argument required to specify the length of the character
buffer the IP address is written to in order to comply with
inet_ntop(3) function semantics.
Change anetTcpServer() function to use getaddrinfo(3) to perform
address resolution, socket creation and binding. Resolved addresses
are limited to those reachable by the AF_INET address family.
Change anetTcpGenericConnect() function to use getaddrinfo(3) to
perform address resolution, socket creation and connection. Resolved
addresses are limited to those reachable by the AF_INET family.
Change anetResolve() function to use getaddrinfo(3) to resolve hostnames.
Resolved hostnames are limited to those reachable by the AF_INET address
family.
API Change: anetResolve requires additional argument.
additional argument required to specify the length of the character
buffer the IP address is written to in order to comply with

as it has been designed to be compatible with more address families.
Bind() can't be called multiple times against the same socket, multiple
sockets are required to bind multiple interfaces, silly me.
This reverts commit bd234d62bbfe9feb735fd6d1cdb8f5ce811f54b4.
Further details from @antirez:
It was reported by @StopForumSpam on Twitter that the Redis replication
link was strangely using multiple TCP packets for multiple commands.
This wastes a lot of bandwidth and is due to the TCP_NODELAY option we
enable on the socket after accepting a new connection.
However the master -> slave channel is a one-way channel since Redis
replication is asynchronous, so there is no point in trying to reduce
the latency, we should aim to reduce the bandwidth. For this reason this
commit introduces the ability to disable the nagle algorithm on the
socket after a successful SYNC.
This feature is off by default because the delay can be up to 40
milliseconds with normally configured Linux kernels.
This commit implements the first, beta quality implementation of Redis
Sentinel, a distributed monitoring system for Redis with notification
and automatic failover capabilities.

Added a configuration directive to allow a user to specify the
permissions to be granted to the Unix socket file. I followed
the format Pieter and Salvatore discusses in issue #85 (
https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/85).
networking related stuff moved into networking.c
moved more code
more work on layout of source code
SDS instantaneuos memory saving. By Pieter and Salvatore at VMware ;)
cleanly compiling again after the first split, now splitting it in more C files
moving more things around... work in progress
split replication code
splitting more
Sets split
Hash split
replication split
even more splitting
more splitting
