.SH NAME
socket_broadcast \- set UDP socket to broadcast mode
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <socket.h>

int \fBsocket_broadcast\fP(int \fIs\fR);
.SH DESCRIPTION
socket_broadcast sets UDP socket \fIs\fR to broadcast mode.
socket_send4 and socket_send6 will fail to send packets to the broadcast
address unless socket_broadcast is called before.

Normally socket_broadcast returns 0.

If anything goes wrong, socket_broadcast returns -1, setting errno
appropriately.

.SH EXAMPLE
  #include <socket.h>

  int \fIs\fR;

  if ((\fIs\fR=socket_udp6())==-1)
    strerr_die2sys(111,FATAL,"unable to create UDP socket: ");
  if (socket_broadcast(\fIs\fR) == -1)
    strerr_die2sys(111,FATAL,"unable to set broadcast mode: ");
