- Language and platform: C on Unix
Purpose:
- Demo + source showing you how to program some simple
socket connections.
While the programs are specific to Unix, they illustrate how all
socket programs usually work.

To compile and use the demos: |
| |
-
Copy these files into your own directory and compile it by typing
make
-
To run the server1 demo:
-
Open two windows
In the first window, type
server1.
-
In the second window, type
client
-
Anything you type into the client window will be sent and
printed in the server window.
-
To run the server2 demo:
-
As above, but run server2 instead of server1
-
As before, anything you type into the client window will be sent and
printed in the server2 window.
-
However, the server2 program will also look at the keyboard
and echo back any text typed in the server2 window.
-
To run the server3 demo:
-
As above, but run server3 instead of server1
-
You can now run several clients at the same time, connecting and
disconnecting them dynamically.

Where to go from here: |
| |
If you want to play with sockets, try to make the client and server talk to each other using
two-way communications. Note: sockets are already two-way! |
