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  ef-
     fect 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);
