<p>
This tutorial program shows how to use asio to implement a client application
with UDP.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">#include <iostream>
#include <boost/array.hpp>
#include <asio.hpp>
using asio::ip::udp;
</pre>
<p>
The start of the application is essentially the same as for the TCP daytime
client.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
try
{
if (argc != 2)
{
std::cerr << "Usage: client <host>" << std::endl;
return 1;
}
asio::io_context io_context;
</pre>
<p>
We use an <a class="link" href="../reference/ip__udp/resolver.html" title="ip::udp::resolver">ip::udp::resolver</a>
object to find the correct remote endpoint to use based on the host and service
names. The query is restricted to return only IPv4 endpoints by the <a class="link" href="../reference/ip__udp/v4.html" title="ip::udp::v4">ip::udp::v4()</a> argument.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> udp::resolver resolver(io_context);
udp::endpoint receiver_endpoint =
*resolver.resolve(udp::v4(), argv[1], "daytime").begin();
</pre>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="../reference/ip__basic_resolver/resolve.html" title="ip::basic_resolver::resolve">ip::udp::resolver::resolve()</a>
function is guaranteed to return at least one endpoint in the list if it
does not fail. This means it is safe to dereference the return value directly.
</p>
<p>
Since UDP is datagram-oriented, we will not be using a stream socket. Create
an <a class="link" href="../reference/ip__udp/socket.html" title="ip::udp::socket">ip::udp::socket</a> and
initiate contact with the remote endpoint.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> udp::socket socket(io_context);
socket.open(udp::v4());
boost::array<char, 1> send_buf = {{ 0 }};
socket.send_to(asio::buffer(send_buf), receiver_endpoint);
</pre>
<p>
Now we need to be ready to accept whatever the server sends back to us. The
endpoint on our side that receives the server's response will be initialised
by <a class="link" href="../reference/basic_datagram_socket/receive_from.html" title="basic_datagram_socket::receive_from">ip::udp::socket::receive_from()</a>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> boost::array<char, 128> recv_buf;
udp::endpoint sender_endpoint;
size_t len = socket.receive_from(
asio::buffer(recv_buf), sender_endpoint);
std::cout.write(recv_buf.data(), len);
}
</pre>
<p>
Finally, handle any exceptions that may have been thrown.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> catch (std::exception& e)
{
std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
</pre>
