Send the data in the netbuf buf on the UDP
connection conn. The data in the netbuf should
not be too large if IP fragmentation support is disabled. If IP
fragmentation support is disabled, the data should not be larger than
the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the outgoing network interface,
less the space required for link layer, IP and UDP headers. No checking
is necessarily made of whether the data is sufficiently small and
sending very large netbufs might give undefined results.
Example
Example 4-1. This example demonstrates basic usage of the netconn_send() function
This example shows how to send some UDP data to UDP port 7000 on a remote host
with IP address 10.0.0.1.
Note: This is only an example for illustrative purposes, and a complete version
should perform comprehensive error checking.
int
main()
{
struct netconn *conn;
struct netbuf *buf;
struct ip_addr addr;
char *data;
char text[] = "A static text";
int i;
/* create a new connection */
conn = netconn_new(NETCONN_UDP);
/* set up the IP address of the remote host */
addr.addr = htonl(0x0a000001);
/* connect the connection to the remote host */
netconn_connect(conn, &addr, 7000);
/* create a new netbuf */
buf = netbuf_new();
data = netbuf_alloc(buf, 10);
/* create some arbitrary data */
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
data[i] = i;
/* send the arbitrary data */
netconn_send(conn, buf);
/* reference the text into the netbuf */
netbuf_ref(buf, text, sizeof(text));
/* send the text */
netconn_send(conn, buf);
/* deallocate connection and netbuf */
netconn_delete(conn);
netconn_delete(buf);
