Predicate udp_send/4 |
as(Type)
option of
udp_receive/4. The are
interpreted differently though. No Type corresponds to
CVT_ALL of PL_get_chars(). Using atom corresponds to CVT_ATOM and any of
string or codes is mapped to CVT_STRING|
CVT_LIST, allowing
for a SWI-Prolog string object, list of character codes or list of
characters. Finally, term
maps to CVT_WRITE_CANONICAL. This
implies that arbitrary Prolog terms can be sent reliably using the
option list‘[as(term)
,encoding(utf8)
])`,
using the same option list for udp_receive/4.For example
send(Host, Port, Message) :- udp_socket(S), udp_send(S, Message, Host:Port, []), tcp_close_socket(S).
A broadcast is achieved by using tcp_setopt(Socket, broadcast)
prior to sending the datagram and using the local network broadcast
address as a ip/4 term.
