Class summary
| constructor network_/Interface hostname/string port/int | Constructs a new UDP socket bound to the given hostname and port. |

Constructors
Constructs a new UDP socket bound to the given hostname and port.
The hostname is the local address to bind to. For client sockets, pass 0.0.0.0. For server sockets pass 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces, or the address of a particular interface in order to listen on that particular one.
The port can be zero, in which case the system picks a free port.
constructor network/Client
Statics
multicast network_/Client --port/int=null --if-addr/IpAddress=null --reuse-address/bool=true --reuse-port/bool=false --loopback/bool=true --ttl/int=1 -> Socket
Constructs a multicast UDP socket.
The socket is configured for multicast communication but does not automatically join any group. Call multicast-add-membership to join a group for receiving.
The port is the local port to bind to. If null, the OS picks an ephemeral port (typical for send-only sockets).
The if-addr is the IP address of the interface to use for outgoing multicast (IP_MULTICAST_IF). If null, the OS picks a default.
If reuse-address is true (the default), the SO_REUSEADDR option is set.
If reuse-port is true (not default), the SO_REUSEPORT option is set.
If loopback is true (the default), multicast packets sent from this socket are also delivered to receivers on the same host.
The ttl is the multicast time-to-live (default 1, meaning link-local only).
multicast network_/Client address/IpAddress port/int --if-addr/IpAddress=null --reuse-address/bool=true --reuse-port/bool=false --loopback/bool=true --ttl/int=1 -> Socket
Deprecated. Use the named-args-only constructor (without a positional address) followed by multicast-add-membership instead.
Constructs a multicast UDP socket, binds to port, and automatically joins the multicast group address.
Methods
Whether this object is equal to the other.
Inheritance
Classes overwrite this operator to get an equality specific to their needs. Equality operators often compare the type and field contents. For example:
class Pin:
number/int
constructor .number:
operator == other:
if other is not Pin: return false
return number == other.number
A class doesn't have to follow the above format, but it must keep the operator in sync with any
hash-code method. That is, if a class has a hash-code member, then the equality and hash-code must agree. If two instances are equal (a == b), then their hash codes must also be equal (a.hash-code == b.hash-code).Stringifies this object.
Inheritance
Objects that need a human-friendly string representation should overwrite this method. The default string is based on the internal class-ID.
