Method: UDPSocket#connect

Defined in:
udpsocket.c

#connect(host, port) ⇒ 0

Connects udpsocket to host:port.

This makes possible to send without destination address.

u1 = UDPSocket.new
u1.bind("127.0.0.1", 4913)
u2 = UDPSocket.new
u2.connect("127.0.0.1", 4913)
u2.send "uuuu", 0
p u1.recvfrom(10) #=> ["uuuu", ["AF_INET", 33230, "localhost", "127.0.0.1"]]

Returns:
