SYNOPSIS
int send_udp(string host, int port, string message)
int send_udp(string host, int port, int * message)

DESCRIPTION
Sends The message in an UDP packet to the given host and port
number.

The efun causes the privilege violation ("send_udp").

Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

Note: On some machines a failed send_udp() will not be registered
until the next send_udp() - the latter one might return '0' even
if itself was successful.

BUG
If the <host> is given as a fully qualified name (instead of
an IP address), the execution will block until the name is resolved.

HISTORY
LDMud 3.2.9 renamed this efun from send_imp(), and also changed the
privilege violation string and the apply names.
