Demonstrates the Chilkat Socket ReceiveByte and SendByte method.

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example uses the public TCP echo service at https://tcpbin.com/

    // Let's look at the value of the byte received.  It should be 96.
    fmt.Println(sock.ReceivedInt())

    // The echo server also echoed the LF back.

    // Should be decimal 10.
