Description

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless, unreliable datagram protocol of the TCP/IP protocol suite. UDP datagrams may be lost or delivered in duplicates or out of sequence.

PR_OpenUDPSocket creates a new UDP socket of the address family af. The socket may be bound to a well-known port number with PR_Bind. Datagrams can be sent with PR_SendTo and received with PR_RecvFrom. When the socket is no longer needed, it should be closed with a call to PR_Close.
