What is required to make a UDP Broadcast in C?

You don't need to use setsockopt(). A UDP packet sent to the special address 255.255.255.255 will be sent to all addresses on the local network.

If the network you want to broadcast to is not local you need to use the broadcast address of that network (as per ivymike's comment), which by convention is normally (but not always) the last IP in the subnet.

Bear in mind that broadcast addresses are used in a number of DOS attacks and are likely to be filtered.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
