yes you should be able to pass the socket to other functions to discover
the port.
udp sockets are not connection oriented hence you can send packets at any
destination you want and receive from multiple destinations..
if you want to reuse the enet socket to send your own udp packets you can
do that:
ENetBuffer buffer;
buffer.data = "hello";
buffer.dataLength = strlen(buffer.data)+1;
ENetAddress address;
enet_address_set_host( &address, "172.0.0.1" );
address.port = 2300;
enet_socket_send( enet_host->socket, address, &buffer, 1 );
Run `nc -ul localhost 2300` to receive the message
