Details
gnet_mcast_socket_new ()
Create a new multicast socket with any available port.  Use this
 constructor when you are creating a new group and the port number
 doesn't matter.  If you want to receive packets from the group,
 you will have to join it next.
gnet_mcast_socket_port_new ()
Create a new multicast socket with the given port.  If you know
 the port of the group you will join, use this constructor.  If you
 want to receive packets from the group, you will have to join it,
 using the full address, next.
gnet_mcast_socket_inetaddr_new ()
Create a new multicast socket with the GInetAddr.  If you know
 the GInetAddr of the group you will join, use this constructor.
 If you want to receive packets from the group, you will have to
 join it next.
gnet_mcast_socket_delete ()
Close and delete a multicast socket.
gnet_mcast_socket_ref ()
Increment the reference counter of the GMcastSocket.
gnet_mcast_socket_unref ()
Remove a reference from the GMcastSocket.  When reference count
 reaches 0, the socket is deleted.
gnet_mcast_socket_join_group ()
Join the multicast group using the multicast socket.  You should
 only join one group per socket.
gnet_mcast_socket_leave_group ()
Leave the mulitcast group.
gnet_mcast_socket_send ()
Send the packet using the multicast socket.
gnet_mcast_socket_receive ()
Receive a packet using the mcast socket.
gnet_mcast_socket_has_packet ()
| gboolean    gnet_mcast_socket_has_packet    (const GMcastSocket *s); | 
Test if the socket has a receive packet.
gnet_mcast_socket_is_loopback ()
| gint        gnet_mcast_socket_is_loopback   (const GMcastSocket *ms); | 
Check if the multicast socket has loopback enabled.  If loopback
 is enabled, you receive all the packets you send.  Most people
 don't want this.
gnet_mcast_socket_set_loopback ()
| gint        gnet_mcast_socket_set_loopback  (GMcastSocket *ms,
                                             gint b); | 
Turn the loopback on or off.  If loopback is on, when the process
 sends a packet, it will automatically be looped back to the host.
 If it is off, not only will this the process not receive datagrams
 it sends, other processes on the host will not receive its
 packets.
gnet_mcast_socket_to_udp_socket()
| #define     gnet_mcast_socket_to_udp_socket(MS) | 
Convert a multicast socket to a UDP socket (since a multicast
 socket is just a UDP socket with some special features).
