_Added in 2.3_ */sockudp [-bntkdu] [-bntkd] [bindip] <name> [port] <ipaddress> <port> [numbytes] [text|%var|&binvar]* Opens a UDP connection to a remote ipaddress/port and sends a UDP packet. *Switches* -b - Indicates that you are specifying the numbytes value which is the number of bytes you want sent. -n - Appends a [[$crlf]] to the line being sent if it is not a &binvar and if it does not already have a [[$crlf]]. -t - Forces AdiIRC to send anything beginning with a *&* as normal text instead of interpreting it as a binary variable. -k - Forces the socket to stay open, so it can receive UDP data. -d - The specified IP address is the bind ip address. -u - Enables "dual stack sockets":https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/dual-stack-sockets. *Parameters* [bindip] - Bind ip to be used. <name> - Socket connection name. [port] - Bind port to be used. <ipaddress> - Remote ipaddress to connect to. <port> - Remote port to connect to. [numbytes] - Number of bytes to send. (used with -b) [text|%var|&binvar] - Text, %variable or &binvar to send. *Example* <pre> alias gettime { ; Set a NULL byte binary variable. bset &null 1 0 ; Open a UDP connection to Time-a.nist.gov = 129.6.15.28 sockudp -k gettime 129.6.15.28 37 &null } on *:udpread:gettime: { ; Read the reply. sockread -f &time var %time $bvar(&time,1,$bvar(&time,0)) ; Convert to binary, remove spaces. var %bin $regsubex(%time, /(\d+)\s?/g, $base(\1, 10, 2, 8)) ; Get the current unix time in decimal system. var %time = $base(%bin, 2, 10) ; Print the time and close the socket. echo -ag Currnt Time/Date: $asctime($calc(%time - 2208988800), yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss TT) sockclose $sockname } </pre>
