If the call is not successful, -1 is returned and the external variable errno is set as
indicated below in “Errors.”
socket
specifies the socket number for the socket, as returned by the call to socket.
buffer_ptr
points to the data to be sent.
buffer_length
is the size of the buffer pointed to by buffer_ptr.
flags
It is not used. It must be set to zero.
