IPv4 Send IPv6 Sendto Sendmsg For those that say you should not use GNAT.Sockets.Thin. There are a few applications that can not be handled by GNAT.Sockets, so either the application must use "pragma Import" or better yet use GNAT.Sockets.Thin. I think using GNAT.Sockets.Thin is better and is more portable. That's because if GNAT changes the interface it is easier to find and adapt the code, than trying to find the new routine and pick the right parameters and types used by that altered or new imported routine.
