UDP test

(Note: taken further in a proper repo: https://github.com/taikedz/udp_test)

This is a quick thing I put together for testing UDP packet sending behaviours.

Interestingly, if a message is delayed by the server and sent after the client times out, the message is still received client side. An actual client would need to proactively manage response validity.

I did try randomly generating multiple identical repsonses from the server, that only caused confusion for this simple client.

Easy Custom Logger

The default setup for the logging utility is a little unwieldy to set up for every project - though once done, it is likely to seldom change.

This snippet provides a pre-configured global logging utility allowing for a log level to be set via environment variable, as well as a pretty-print dump() log function that writes when level is set to DEBUG.

By default, logging goes to stdout, but can be redirected to a file.

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	QUOTED_ARRAY="-Djava=\"one 'and' two\" -Djavax=\"three four\""
	while IFS= read -r -d '' item; do echo "$item"; done < <(xargs printf '%s\0' <<< "$QUOTED_ARRAY")

	# Output:

	# -Djava=one 'and' two
	# -Djavax=three four
