PERL send Function
Syntax
send SOCKET, MSG, FLAGS, TO
send SOCKET, MSG, FLAGS
|
Definition and Usage
Sends a message on SOCKET (the opposite of recv). If the socket is unconnected, you
must supply a destination to communicate to with the TO parameter. In this case, the
sendto system function is used in place of the system send function.
The FLAGS parameter is formed from the bitwise or of 0 and one or more of the
MSG_OOB and MSG_DONTROUTE options. MSG_OOB allows you to send
out-of-band data on sockets that support this notion. The underlying protocol must
also support out-of-band data. Only SOCK_STREAM sockets created in the AF_INET
address family support out-of-band data. The MSG_DONTROUTE option is turned
on for the duration of the operation. Only diagnostic or routing programs use it.
