See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SendWakeOnLan, which sends a Wake-on-LAN magic packet for a MAC address to a UDP broadcast address and port.

import { Socket } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  const socket = new Socket();

  // Send a Wake-on-LAN magic packet to wake a machine by its MAC address.  The MAC is six bytes
  // written as hexadecimal, and the packet is sent to the UDP broadcast address and port.
  try {
    socket.sendWakeOnLan('000102030405', 9, '255.255.255.255');
  } catch {
    console.log(socket.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log('Wake-on-LAN packet sent.');
