Send a Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet

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.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    let socket = CkoSocket()!

    //  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.
    success = socket.sendWake(onLan: "000102030405", port: 9, ipBroadcastAddr: "255.255.255.255")
    if success == false {
        print("\(socket.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Wake-on-LAN packet sent.")
