The `'message'` event is emitted when a new datagram is available on a socket.
The event handler function is passed two arguments: `msg` and `rinfo`. The
`msg` argument is a [`Buffer`][] and `rinfo` is an object with the sender's
address information provided by the `address`, `family` and `port` properties:
```js
socket.on('message', (msg, rinfo) => {
console.log('Received %d bytes from %s:%d\n',
msg.length, rinfo.address, rinfo.port);
});
```
* `address` {String} The sender address
* `family` {String} The address family (`'IPv4'` or `'IPv6'`)
* `port` {Number} The sender port
* `size` {Number} The message size
