## org.apache.commons.net.daytime
Class DaytimeUDPClient

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient
          org.apache.commons.net.daytime.DaytimeUDPClient

    public final class DaytimeUDPClient

extends DatagramSocketClient

The DaytimeUDPClient class is a UDP implementation of a client for the Daytime protocol described in RFC 867. To use the class, merely open a local datagram socket with `open` and call `getTime` to retrieve the daytime string, then call `close` to close the connection properly. Unlike `DaytimeTCPClient`, successive calls to `getTime` are permitted without re-establishing a connection. That is because UDP is a connectionless protocol and the Daytime protocol is stateless.

Field Summary
`static int` | `DEFAULT_PORT` The default daytime port.
