<p>The <em>send()</em> function is used to send data through a connected
|
|
socket.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> There are two versions of
|
|
the API, as shown above. The base i5/OS API uses BSD 4.3 structures and
|
|
syntax. The other uses syntax and structures compatible with the UNIX 98
|
|
programming interface specifications. You can select the UNIX 98 compatible
|
|
interface with the <a href="_xopen_source.htm">_XOPEN_SOURCE</a> macro.</p>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><em>send()</em> only works with sockets on which a <em>connect()</em> has
|
|
been issued, since it does not allow the caller to specify a destination
|
|
address.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To broadcast on an <samp>AF_INET</samp> socket, the socket option
|
|
<samp>SO_BROADCAST</samp> must be set (with a <em>setsockopt()</em>).<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>When using a connection-oriented transport service, all errors except
|
|
<samp>[EUNATCH]</samp> and <samp>[EUNKNOWN]</samp> are mapped to
|
|
<samp>[EPIPE]</samp> on an output operation when either of the following
|
|
occurs:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A connection that is in progress is unsuccessful.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>An established connection is broken.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
To get the actual error, use <em>getsockopt()</em> with the
|
|
<samp>SO_ERROR</samp> option, or perform an input operation (for example,
|
|
<em>read()</em>).<br><br></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>When you develop in C-based
|
|
languages and an application is compiled with the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro defined
|
|
to the value 520 or greater, the <em>send()</em> API is mapped to
|
|
<em>qso_send98()</em>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
