Use sockets to send an ARP request

[alexboly]

Did anybody use sockets to send an ARP request?
I presume that one can only use raw sockets to do that. I read the ARP description (rfc, protocol etc.), but I am very unexperienced with TCP/IP programming and with using sockets in C++. Can anybody give me an example, a code snippet or something like this?
Thanks,
Alex

My limited understanding of ARP is that it is a network layer protocol, and as such, would not be compatible with a TCP message.

Again, that statement could be totaly wrong. I only post it because no other posts have been offered.
