Description

An ENet host for communicating with peers. On creation it will bind to a port on an address, unless otherwise specified, which will keep other applications from binding to the same port and address.

One can free the port by calling its destroy method; nil-ing the host object and calling collectgarbage() would work as well, since :destroy calls host:__gc internally, but this is cleaner:

local host = enet.host_create("*:6789")
host:destroy()

Functions
