send - send a message over a socket

NAME

send - send a message over a socket


SYNOPSIS

send SOCKET,MSG,FLAGS,TO

send SOCKET,MSG,FLAGS


DESCRIPTION

Sends a message on a socket. Takes the same flags as the system call of the same name. On unconnected sockets you must specify a destination to send TO, in which case it does a C sendto. Returns the number of characters sent, or the undefined value if there is an error. The C system call sendmsg(2) is currently unimplemented. See UDP: Message Passing in the perlipc manpage for examples.
