Thanks; that may do what I want. A couple of questions:
* are the two-byte fields (flags and the various lengths) in network
byte
order? (big-endian) If so, that means using htons(), unless I can
maybe
get an XDR description to match up with this.
* The page above mentions UDP port 9887, but says "The UDP protocol is
not
advertised because its port number is configurable by the user."
However, while the preference pane certainly _tells_ me the TCP and
UDP port
numbers, I don't see any option to configure them. Are they only
configurable
by altering the source code? Because if they are _readily_ user
configurable,
I still have the problem of how a client of the UDP protocol would
determine
what port to use.
and
* is growlnotify reliable enough that I could just posix_spawn() it,
which would
avoid all the issues with a network connection? Would growlnotify
work when
run from something not in a user session context?
