NAME

       lc_channel_send, lc_channel_sendmsg - send data on a Librecast channel

LIBRARY

       Librecast library (liblibrecast, -llibrecast)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <librecast/net.h>

       ssize_t lc_channel_send(lc_channel_t *chan, const void *buf, size_t len, int flags)
       ssize_t lc_channel_sendmsg(lc_channel_t *chan, struct msghdr *msg, int flags);

       Compile and link with -llibrecast.

DESCRIPTION

       Each of these functions sends data over multicast on the librecast channel chan.  They are
       analogous to the send(2) and sendmsg(2) calls.

       In addition to the usual flags used with send(2) and sendmsg(2)  these  functions  support
       the following flags:

       MSG_DROP
              This  flag  causes  the  packet  to  be  dropped instead of sending. It is used for
              testing. All normal processing, such as encoding proceeds as usual. Only the  final
              send  syscall  is  skipped. The return value will be the number of bytes that would
              have been sent.

RETURN VALUE

       These calls return the number of bytes received, or -1 if an error occurred.  In the event
       of an error, errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       See send(2).
