Socket_01 - Data Transfer between UDP Sockets

"Socket_01" demonstrates the data transfer between UDP sockets - for that purpose, the program creates two such sockets and sends a short message from one socket to the other.

The program is simple enough not to require any additional explanation.

"Socket_01" should be invoked without any command line arguments

  lua Socket_01.lua

and produces the following output:

  Socket_01 - a first experiment with UDP datagrams

  creating receiver socket...
  done (Address: 0.0.0.0, Port: 1267)

  creating sender socket...
  done (Address: 0.0.0.0, Port: 1268)

  sending datagram...
  done

  receiving datagram...
  done (got "Hello" from 127.0.0.1:1268)

The actually shown port numbers may vary from one invocation to the other and from system to system.
