socket_send6(3)		   Library Functions Manual	       socket_send6(3)

NAME
       socket_send6 - send a UDP datagram

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/socket.h>

       ssize_t socket_send6(int	s, const char* buf, size_t len,
			    const char ip[16], uint16 port, uint32 scope_id);

DESCRIPTION
       socket_send6 sends len bytes starting at	buf in a UDP datagram over the
       socket s	to UDP port port on IP address ip.

       You  can	 call socket_send6 without calling socket_bind6.  This has the
       effect as first calling socket_bind6 with IP address :: and port	0.

       The meaning of scope_id is dependent on the implementation and IPv6 IP.
       On link-local IPv6 addresses it specifies the outgoing interface	index.
       The name	(e.g. "eth0") for a given interface index can be queried  with
       getifname.  scope_id should normally be set to 0.

RETURN VALUE
       socket_send6  returns 0 if the datagram was sent	successfully.  If not,
       it returns -1 and sets errno appropriately.

EXAMPLE
	 #include <libowfat/socket.h>

	 int s;
	 char ip[16];
	 uint16	p;
	 uint32	scope_id;

	 s = socket_tcp4();
	 socket_bind6(s,ip,p);
	 socket_send6(s,"hello,	world",12,ip,p,scope_id);
