Yes, indeed I did mean something else, I seemed to have lost the tail end of my
sentence (the punchline, so to say)
It should have read something like:
Also, the return for the case of an unbound DatagramSocket or DatagramChannel
is not specified consistently, and provide conflicting return specifications.
DatagramChannel return spec
Returns:
The SocketAddress that the socket is bound to, or the SocketAddress
representing the loopback address if denied by the security manager, or null if
the channel's socket is not bound.
DatagramSocket return spec
Returns:
the local address to which the socket is bound, null if the socket is
closed, or an InetAddress representing
[wildcard](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base/java/net/InetAddress.html#isAnyLocalAddress())
address if either the socket is not bound, or the security manager
checkConnect method does not allow the operation
