/sockudp [-bntkdu] [bindip] <name> [port] <ipaddress> <port> [numbytes] [text|%var|&binvar]
Opens a UDP connection to a remote ipaddress/port and sends a UDP packet.
Switches
| Switch | Description |
| -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. |
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| [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
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
}
