typedef basic_datagram_socket< udp > socket;
Types

Name

Description

broadcast

Socket option to permit sending of broadcast messages.

IO control command to get the amount of data that can be read without blocking.

debug

Socket option to enable socket-level debugging.

do_not_route

Socket option to prevent routing, use local interfaces only.

enable_connection_aborted

Socket option to report aborted connections on accept.

endpoint_type

The endpoint type.

implementation_type
