HI everyone,
I just started working on 4 and 5 below. Any suggestions or links to
references would be much appreciated. I know little of Smalltalk, but am
coming up to speed on it. I have many years of C network programming of
modems, switches & routers. I'll document everything as I go along.
1. Objective is to send a UDP packet to port 49152 on my other Linux box
192.168.1.114:49152
- AF_INET (v4)
- SOCK_DGRAM (connectionless)
- IPPROTO_UDP (user datagram protocol)
- Any egress port and IP address (no bind)
2. Sockets documentation is not in gnu-smalltalk-doc. It's online at Sockets
Documentation
<https://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual-libs/gst-libs.html#Sockets-package>
3. Socket support must be added to gnu-smalltalk 3.2.5. st>
PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Sockets' .
4. Configure socket and send it a message
5. Observe message on Wireshark and at my other Linux box.
Many thanks everybody,
Gary Highberger
