The sockets manifest property declares which permissions are available for the sockets.udp, sockets.tcp and sockets.tcpServer APIs.

Sample manifest.json

{
  "name": "My Sockets app",
  "sockets": {
    "udp": {
      // Permission for chrome.sockets.udp.send:
      // The application is allowed to send udp packets
      // to any host:port combination.
      "send": "*"
    },
    "tcp": {
      // Permission for chrome.sockets.tcp.connect:
      // The application is allowed to connect only to the
      // tcp server on 127.0.0.1 port 80.
      "connect": "127.0.0.1:80"
    },
    "tcpServer": {
      // Permission for chrome.sockets.tcpServer.listen:
      // The application is allowed to accept new client
      // connections on the local address at port 80.
      "listen": "127.0.0.1:80"
    }
  },
  ...
