Comment:
You should be able to create an UDP socket by using the `AF_INET` socket
family and the `Datagram` socket type. I believe `fromIntegral
PORT_NUMBER` will do the correct translation for port numbers, but I agree
that the documentation could be better. I you still have problems creating
a datagram socket please file a bug at the new trac location:
http://trac.haskell.org/network
P.S. The network library doesn't handle zero length datagrams correctly,
see [http://trac.haskell.org/network/ticket/7 this ticket]. You can use
network-bytestring instead which doesn't have this problem.
