local server = host:connect("localhost:10001", 64, 0)
host:service(100)

-- populate byteData
local byteData = love.data.newByteData(5)
local ffi = require("ffi")
local ptr = ffi.cast("void*", byteData:getFFIPointer())
ffi.copy(ptr, "hello")

server:send(byteData:getPointer(), byteData:getSize(), 11, "reliable") -- send data

love.update = function()
  host:service(10)
end

-- server
local enet = require("enet")
local host = enet.host_create("*:10001", 64, 0)
