136 * - To send data on a connection-mode socket, using \ref vlc_send() is
137 * simpler.
138 * - To send data on a connection-less socket, @c sendto() and/or @c send() can
139 * be used directly.

142 * @param buf start address of data
143 * @param buflen byte size of data
144 * @param flags socket send flags (see @c send() documentation)
