=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is an abstraction around UDP sockets for use with AnyEvent.

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 on_recv

The callback for when a package arrives. It takes three arguments: the datagram, the handle and the address the datagram was received from.

=head2 on_error

The callback for when an error occurs. It takes three arguments: the handle, a boolean indicating the error is fatal or not, and the error message.

=head2 on_bind

The callback for when the bind has been performed (this may be after object construction if address lookup is involved).

=head2 on_connect

The callback for when the connect has been performed (this may be after object construction if address lookup is involved).

=head2 on_drain

This sets the callback that is called when the send buffer becomes empty. The callback takes the handle as its only argument.

=head2 autoflush

Always attempt to send data to the operating system immediately, without waiting for the loop to indicate the filehandle is write-ready.

=head2 receive_size

The buffer size for the receiving in bytes. It defaults to 1500, which is slightly more than the MTA on ethernet.

=head2 family

Sets the socket family. The default is C<0>, which means either IPv4 or IPv6. The values C<4> and C<6> mean IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

=head2 fh

The underlying filehandle. Note that this doesn't cooperate with the C<connect> and C<bind> parameters.

=head2 reuse_addr

If true will enable quick reuse of the bound address

=head2 timeout

=head2 rtimeout

=head2 wtimeout

If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the on_timeout callback will be invoked (and if that one is mis...

There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read OR written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write: timeout, rtimeout and wtimeout, with co...

Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the timeout in the corresponding on_timeout cal...

Calling C<clear_timeout> (or setting it to zero, which does the same) disables the corresponding timeout.

=head2 on_timeout

=head2 on_rtimeout

=head2 on_wtimeout

The callback that's called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened, so this condition is not fatal in any way.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Create a new UDP handle. As arguments it accepts any attribute, as well as these two:

=over 4

=item * connect

Set the address to which datagrams are sent by default, and the only address from which datagrams are received. It must be either a packed sockaddr struct or an arrayref containing a hostname and a portnumber.

=item * bind

The address to bind the socket to. It must be either a packed sockaddr struct or an arrayref containing a hostname and a portnumber.

=back

All except C<on_recv> are optional, though using either C<connect> or C<bind> (or both) is strongly recommended unless you give it a connected/bound C<fh>.

=head2 bind_to($address)

Bind to the specified addres. Note that a bound socket may be rebound to another address. C<$address> must be in the same form as the bind argument to new.

=head2 connect_to($address)

Connect to the specified address. Note that a connected socket may be reconnected to another address. C<$address> must be in the same form as the connect argument to new.

=head2 push_send($message, $to = undef, $cv = AnyEvent::CondVar->new)

Try to send a message. If a socket is not connected a receptient address must also be given. If it is connected giving a receptient may not work as expected, depending on your platform. It returns C<$cv>, which will become true when C<$message> is se...

=head2 timeout_reset

=head2 rtimeout_reset

=head2 wtimeout_reset

Reset the activity timeout, as if data was received or sent.

=head2 sockname

Get the local address, per C<getsockname>.

=head2 peername

Get the peer's address, per C<getpeername>.
