+ \section console_udp Non-interactive UDP console
+
+ The UDP console allows to script the console tree via UDP packets. Every UDP packet must be a
+ complete command (or sequence of commands). The combined reply of all these commands will be
+ returned in a single UDP packet. This reply can be disabled or directed to a different address.
+
+ To start a UDP server, just create an instance of the senf::console::UDPServer class
+ \code
+ senf::console::UDPServer server (senf::INet4SocketAddress("127.0.0.1:23232"));
+ \endcode
+ (Remember to enter the scheduler main-loop for processing)
+
+ Commands may then be sent to this UDP console e.g. using netcat
+ <pre>
+ $ echo "cd sys; ls" | nc6 -u --half-close localhost 23232 2>/dev/null
+ </pre>
+
+ \see senf::console::UDPServer
