Broadcast packets in C

Hello there,
I'm trying to build a program in C which uses broadcast HELLO packets,
multicast RREQ, RREP, RERR packets and routing tables exchange.I want
to keep it as simple as possible.
I know how to send broadcast simple Hello using UDP socket function,
but I can't make from the beginning the HELLO routing tables etc
packets and broadcasts them or receive them separately from the known
socket and listen functions, and using them i cant understand how can
I use the arguments of the functions.
Can anyone please give me some directions what should i do? because
I'm trying a lot here and there are not efficient examples in the net.
Thanx

If you can't ask a specific question, you can't get a specific answer.
I'm sorry, that's just how it works.

Your question is like, "I'm trying to build a bridge across a river,
but I don't know what materials to use or what type of design would be
best. I've read books on bridge building, but I don't understand them.
Can you give me some advice?"

All we can do is point you to the general information since you aren't
asking specific questions. If the general information isn't helping
you, and you don't have specific questions about it, then you are
attempting something too far beyond your ability and knowledge.
