Description

Details

enum BSocketOptions

typedef enum
{
  B_SO_NONE      = 0,
  B_SO_BROADCAST = 1 << 0,
  B_SO_REUSEADDR = 1 << 1
} BSocketOptions;

`B_SO_NONE`	no options
`B_SO_BROADCAST`	send and receive broadcast packages
`B_SO_REUSEADDR`	allow the address and port to be reused

Returns :	`TRUE` on success, `FALSE` in case of an error

b_socket_udp_new ()

gint        b_socket_udp_new                (BSocketOptions options,
                                             GError **error);
