In C, if I want to parse a UDP packet, I need to build my own offsets

netinet/udp.h
Things like:

#define PACKET_DATA_OFFSET_DEFAULT (
      ETHER_HDR_LEN + sizeof(struct iphdr) + \
      sizeof(struct udphdr))

That would be easy to port to D, if I had access to those structs and
defines, but it doesn't seem like these have been ported over. Am I
missing something obvious?

Thanks.


We haven't bound all C/POSIX headers in druntime yet. There's no 
particular reason it isn't done other than nobody having gotten around 
to it.
