Hello.

Does anyone have an example of udp with the loopback interface? I have a server process waiting on a select() and would like to add the udp listener to its list of FDs so I can wake it up and shut it down cleanly from another thread. Using the loopback address was intended to avoid allowing outside network entities from shutting the server down.
