Methods

Description

UDP packet peer. Can be used to send raw UDP packets as well as Variants.

Method Descriptions

• void close ( )

Close the UDP socket the PacketPeerUDP is currently listening on.

• String get_packet_ip ( ) const

Returns the IP of the remote peer that sent the last packet(that was received with PacketPeer.get_packet or PacketPeer.get_var).

• int get_packet_port ( ) const

Returns the port of the remote peer that sent the last packet(that was received with PacketPeer.get_packet or PacketPeer.get_var).

• bool is_listening ( ) const

Returns whether this PacketPeerUDP is listening.

• Error listen ( int port, String bind_address=”*”, int recv_buf_size=65536 )

Make this PacketPeerUDP listen on the “port” binding to “bind_address” with a buffer size “recv_buf_size”.

If “bind_address” is set as “*” (default), the peer will listen on all available addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6).

If “bind_address” is set as “0.0.0.0” (for IPv4) or “::” (for IPv6), the peer will listen on all available addresses matching that IP type.

If “bind_address” is set to any valid address (e.g. “192.168.1.101”, “::1”, etc), the peer will only listen on the interface with that addresses (or fail if no interface with the given address exists).

• Error set_dest_address ( String host, int port )

Set the destination address and port for sending packets and variables, a hostname will be resolved using if valid.

• Error wait ( )

Wait for a packet to arrive on the listening port, see listen.
