 * [`tinydb`](tinydb.rs) - an in-memory database which shows sharing state
   between all connected clients, notably the key/value store of this database.
 
+* [`udp-client`](udp-client.rs) - a simple `send_dgram`/`recv_dgram` example.

+//! A UDP client that just sends everything it gets via `stdio` in a single datagram, and then
+//! waits for a reply.
+//!
+//! For the reasons of simplicity data from `stdio` is read until `EOF` in a blocking manner.
+//!
+//! You can test this out by running an echo server:
+//!
+//! ```
+//!     $ cargo run --example echo-udp -- 127.0.0.1:8080
+//! ```
+//!
+//! and running the client in another terminal:
+//!
+//! ```
+//!     $ cargo run --example udp-client
+//! ```
+//!
+//! You can optionally provide any custom endpoint address for the client:
+//!
+//! ```
+//!     $ cargo run --example udp-client -- 127.0.0.1:8080
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Don't forget to pass `EOF` to the standard input of the client!
+//!
+//! Please mind that since the UDP protocol doesn't have any capabilities to detect a broken
+//! connection the server needs to be run first, otherwise the client will block forever.
