bnet_send

To send a packet, one uses the subroutine:

int bnet_send(BSOCK *sock) This routine is equivalent to a write() except that it handles the low level details. The data to be sent is expected to be in sock->msg and be sock->msglen bytes. To send a packet, bnet_send() first writes four bytes in network byte order than indicate the size of the following data packet. It returns:

Returns 0 on failure
Returns 1 on success

In the case of a failure, an error message will be sent to the JCR contained within the bsock packet.
