efun: send_udp

SYNOPSIS:

        int send_udp(string host, int port, string message)
        int send_udp(string host, int port, int * message)

DESCRIPTION:

        Sends The message in an UDP packet to the given host and port
        number.

        The efun causes the privilege violation ("send_udp").

        Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

        Note: On some machines a failed send_udp() will not be registered
        until the next send_udp() - the latter one might return '0' even
        if itself was successful.

BUG:

        If the <host> is given as a fully qualified name (instead of
        an IP address), the execution will block until the name is resolved.

HISTORY:

        LDMud 3.2.9 renamed this efun from send_imp(), and also changed the
          privilege violation string and the apply names.
