Editing mirc/commands/sockudp

The '''/sockudp command''' allows you to send data to a specific address at a specific port destination. Check out the UDP article [[UDP Sockets - mIRC|here]]

'''Note''': if /sockudp fails, it sets $sock().wserr to the error value, and trigger on sockwrite with $sockerr set etc.

== Synopsis ==
/sockudp -bntkd [bindip] <name> [port] <ipaddress> <port> [numbytes] [text|%var|&binvar]

== Switches ==
* '''-b''' - Indicates that you are specifying the numbytes value which is the number of bytes you want send, the full line is sent otherwise
* '''-n''' - Appens a $crlf to the line being sent if it's not a &binvar or if does not already end with a $crlf
* '''-t''' - Forces mIRC to send anything beginning with a & as plain text
* '''-k''' - Keeps the socket opened
* '''-d''' - Means you have specified the ip address as the bind address

== Parameters ==
* '''[bindip]''' - If -d has been specified, the ip address you want to use as the bind address.
* '''<name>''' - The sockname name.
* '''[port]''' - If specified, the local port to use, otherwise mIRC choose one randomly.
* '''<ipaddress>''' - The ip address you want to send to information to, use you localhost 127.0.0.1 with -k to create a listening socket.
* '''<port>''' - The port you want to send to information to, that's your listening port if you create a server.
* '''[numbytes]''' - If -b has been specified, indicates the number of bytes you want to send.
