Hey! Socket programming got you down? Is this stuff just a little too difficult to figure out from the man pages? You want to do cool Internet programming, but you donโt have time to wade through a gob of structs trying to figure out if you have to call bind() before you connect(), etc., etc.
Well, guess what! Iโve already done this nasty business, and Iโm dying to share the information with everyone! Youโve come to the right place. This document should give the average competent C programmer the edge s/he needs to get a grip on this networking noise.
And check it out: Iโve finally caught up with the future (just in the nick of time, too!) and have updated the Guide for IPv6! Enjoy!
Audience
This document has been written as a tutorial, not a complete reference. It is probably at its best when read by individuals who are just starting out with socket programming and are looking for a foothold. It is certainly not the complete and total guide to sockets programming, by any means.
Hopefully, though, itโll be just enough for those man pages to start making senseโฆ
Platform and Compiler
The code contained within this document was compiled on a Linux PC using Gnuโs gcc compiler. It should, however, build on just about any platform that uses gcc. Naturally, this doesnโt apply if youโre programming for Windowsโsee the section on Windows programming, below.
