💖 NAME 💖

globus_xio_udp_driver_instance — Opening/Closing ✨

ok so bestie, this one is literally just about Opening/Closing. that's the whole vibe. open. close. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

Opening/Closing. 💅 (yes queen, it said it twice, and honestly? it ate.)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — an XIO handle with the udp driver can be created with globus_xio_handle_create(). that's the entry point, that's the moment, that's the main character energy. 👑

and listen, that handle can be created in two modes: open server or connected client. two paths, two vibes, one driver. pick your fighter. 🫶

  • if the contact string does not have a host and port, the udp socket will accept messages from any sender — like, it's open to the world, no gatekeeping, very friendly fr fr 🌈
  • if a host and port is specified, the udp socket will be 'connected' immediately to that host:port. and this lowkey blocks packets from any sender other than the contact string. so it's giving exclusive. it's giving "we're locked in." 🔒

and here's the glow-up moment: a handle that starts out as an open server can later be 'connected' with GLOBUS_XIO_UDP_CONNECT — presumably after the first message is received from a sender and their contact info is available. so it's not a forever thing, bestie, it can evolve. character development. 🦋

⚠️ and when the XIO handle is closed? the udp driver will destroy its internal resources and close the socket. UNLESS this socket was set on the attr to globus_xio_register_open(). in that case, not it closing your socket. it said "that one's yours, not mine." 💀

so yeah. create it, maybe connect it, close it, and the driver handles its own cleanup. no cap. 😭✨
