uv_write2() can be used to send over UDP handles if you don't care about Windows. The handle address, somewhat illogically, needs to be casted to uv_stream_t but libuv only looks at the uv_handle_t fields. Note that if you want maximum performance, libuv's non-blocking, event-driven approach won't be able to compete with simple blocking reads, due to the fact that it needs to make more system calls: one to get notified there is data to read, a second one to read it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "libuv" group.
