[ENet-discuss] Enet Header size

[Nuno Silva]

On the docs it said that enet_host_flush() is also supposed to send all
queued packets (for sending), although it wont treat events like
enet_host_flush(), so if the OP just wants to send various packets and not
wait for enet_host_service(), he could use enet_host_flush() instead.
