Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   ost::UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit (Familyfamily = IPV4) [protected]
       Create a UDP transmitter.

   ost::UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit (const IPV4Address &bind, tpport_tport = 5005) [protected]
       Create a UDP transmitter, bind it to a specific interface and port address so that other UDP sockets on remote machines (or the same host)
       may find and send UDP messages to it, and associate it with a given port on a peer host. On failure to bind, an exception is thrown. This
       class is only used to build the UDP Duplex.

       Parameters:
	   bind address to bind this socket to.
	   port number to bind this socket to.

   ost::UDPTransmit::UDPTransmit (const IPV6Address &bind, tpport_tport = 5005) [protected]
Member Function Documentation
   Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect (const IPV4Host &host, tpport_tport) [protected]
       Associate this socket with a specified peer host. The port number from the constructor will be used. All UDP packets will be sent to and
       received from the specified host.

       Returns:
	   0 on success, -1 on error.

       Parameters:
	   host address to connect socket to.
	   port to connect socket to.

       Reimplemented from ost::UDPSocket.

       Reimplemented in ost::UDPDuplex.

   Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect (const IPV6Address &host, tpport_tport) [protected]
   Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect (const IPV4Broadcast &subnet, tpport_tport) [protected]
       Associate this socket with a subnet of peer hosts for subnet broadcasting. The server must be able to assert broadcast permission for the
       socket.

       Returns:
	   0 on success, -1 on error.

       Parameters:
	   subnet subnet address to broadcast into.
	   port transport port to broadcast into.

   Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect (const IPV4Multicast &mgroup, tpport_tport) [protected]
       Associate this socket with a multicast group. Returns:
	   0 on success, -1 on error.

       Parameters:
	   mgroup address of the multicast group to send to.
	   port port number

   Error ost::UDPTransmit::connect (const IPV6Multicast &mgroup, tpport_tport) [protected]
   void ost::UDPTransmit::endTransmitter (void) [inline],  [protected]
       Stop transmitter.

       References ost::Socket::endSocket().

   SOCKET ost::UDPTransmit::getTransmitter (void) [inline],  [protected]
   bool ost::UDPTransmit::isOutputReady (unsigned longtimeout = 0l) [inline]
       See if output queue is empty for sending more packets. Returns:
	   true if output available.

       Parameters:
	   timeout in milliseconds to wait.

       References ost::Socket::isPending(), and ost::Socket::pendingOutput.

   ssize_t ost::UDPTransmit::send (const void *buf, size_tlen) [inline],  [protected]
       Transmit 'send' to use 'connected' send rather than sendto. Returns:
	   number of bytes sent.

       Parameters:
	   buf address of buffer to send.
	   len of bytes to send.

   ssize_t ost::UDPTransmit::transmit (const char *buffer, size_tlen) [inline]
       Transmit 'send' to use 'connected' send rather than sendto. Note:
	   Windows does not support MSG_DONTWAIT, so it is defined as 0 on that platform.

       Returns:
	   number of bytes sent.

       Parameters:
	   buffer address of buffer to send.
	   len of bytes to send.
