27  /**
28   * The CharGenUDPClient class is a UDP implementation of a client for the character generator protocol described in RFC 864. It can also be used for Systat (RFC
29   * 866), Quote of the Day (RFC 865), and netstat (port 15). All of these protocols involve sending a datagram to the appropriate port, and reading data
30   * contained in one or more reply datagrams. The chargen and quote of the day protocols only send one reply datagram containing 512 bytes or fewer. The
31   * other protocols may reply with more than one datagram, in which case you must wait for a timeout to determine that all reply datagrams have been sent.
32   * <p>
33   * To use the CharGenUDPClient class, just open a local UDP port with {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#open open } and call {@link #send send
34   * } to send the datagram that will initiate the data reply. For chargen or quote of the day, just call {@link #receive receive }, and you're done. For netstat
35   * and systat, call receive in a while loop, and catch a SocketException and InterruptedIOException to detect a timeout (don't forget to set the timeout
36   * duration beforehand). Don't forget to call {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#close close() } to clean up properly.
