Construct a basic_socket on an existing native socket.

template<
    typename ExecutionContext>
basic_socket(
    ExecutionContext & context,
    const protocol_type & protocol,
    const native_handle_type & native_socket,
    constraint_t< is_convertible< ExecutionContext &, execution_context & >::value >  = 0);

This constructor creates a socket object to hold an existing native socket.

Parameters
