Hugo Locurcio f7f6115f76
Proofread and improve the whole class reference
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
  and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies

<methods>
<method name="close">
<return type="void">
</return>
<description>
Closes the UDP socket the [PacketPeerUDP] is currently listening on.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_packet_ip" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String">
</return>
<description>
Returns the IP of the remote peer that sent the last packet(that was received with [method PacketPeer.get_packet] or [method PacketPeer.get_var]).
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_packet_port" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int">
</return>
<description>
Returns the port of the remote peer that sent the last packet(that was received with [method PacketPeer.get_packet] or [method PacketPeer.get_var]).
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_listening" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool">
</return>
<description>
Returns whether this [PacketPeerUDP] is listening.

</argument>
<description>
Joins the multicast group specified by [code]multicast_address[/code] using the interface identified by [code]interface_name[/code].
You can join the same multicast group with multiple interfaces. Use [method IP.get_local_interfaces] to know which are available.

</return>
<argument index="0" name="multicast_address" type="String">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="interface_name" type="String">
</argument>
<description>
Removes the interface identified by [code]interface_name[/code] from the multicast group specified by [code]multicast_address[/code].

</argument>
<argument index="2" name="recv_buf_size" type="int" default="65536">
</argument>
<description>
Makes this [PacketPeerUDP] listen on the [code]port[/code] binding to [code]bind_address[/code] with a buffer size [code]recv_buf_size[/code].
If [code]bind_address[/code] is set to [code]"*"[/code] (default), the peer will listen on all available addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6).
If [code]bind_address[/code] is set to [code]"0.0.0.0"[/code] (for IPv4) or [code]"::"[/code] (for IPv6), the peer will listen on all available addresses matching that IP type.
If [code]bind_address[/code] is set to any valid address (e.g. [code]"192.168.1.101"[/code], [code]"::1"[/code], etc), the peer will only listen on the interface with that addresses (or fail if no interface with the given address exists).

<return type="int" enum="Error">

<argument index="0" name="host" type="String">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="port" type="int">
</argument>
<description>
Sets the destination address and port for sending packets and variables. A hostname will be resolved using DNS if needed.
</description>
</method>
<method name="wait">
<return type="int" enum="Error">
</return>
<description>
Waits for a packet to arrive on the listening port. See [method listen].
