send

send(socket::UDPSocket, host::IPv4, port::Integer, msg)

Send msg over socket to host:port.

Examples

  1. Send a message over a UDP socket to a specified host and port:
    
    julia> using Sockets

julia> sock = UDPSocket(); # Create a UDP socket julia> host = "127.0.0.1"; # IP address of the destination host julia> port = 5000; # Port number of the destination host julia> msg = "Hello, World!"; # Message to send

julia> send(sock, host, port, msg) 13

This example sends the message "Hello, World!" over the UDP socket `sock` to the specified `host` and `port`. The function returns the number of bytes sent.

2. **Send a binary data packet to a remote server:**
```julia
julia> using Sockets

julia> sock = UDPSocket();
julia> host = "192.168.1.100";
julia> port = 1234;
julia> data = UInt8[0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78];

julia> send(sock, host, port, data)
4

In this example, a binary data packet represented as a UInt8 array data is sent to the specified host and port using the UDP socket sock.

  1. Handle errors when sending data:
    
    julia> using Sockets

julia> sock = UDPSocket(); julia> host = "127.0.0.1"; julia> port = 1234; julia> msg = "Hello, World!";

julia> success = try send(sock, host, port, msg) true catch err println("Error: $err") false end


This example demonstrates error handling when sending data. If there is an error while sending the message, it catches the error and prints an error message. The `try-catch` block ensures that the code doesn't terminate abruptly.

Please note that the examples assume the `Sockets` package has already been imported.
