I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you mean, "How does one write a program that uses the UDP protocol?", then udp(4) provides information for programmers.

This gives me the opportunity to ask you what you meant by this:

I've read that multimedia use UDP by default.
I'm not sure what you mean by multimedia. If you mean to infer that everyone's audio/visual data is transmitted for playback with UDP as the Layer 3 protocol, I would tend to disagree. There are plenty of A/V transmission protocols that use TCP at Layer 3.
