Talk:C Programming/Networking in UNIX
Page contents not supported in other languages.
I think it would be helpful to add comments to the #include directives, as to why they have to be included (i.e. for what function calls / constants etc.)
the functions gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() still elude my mental grasp. I would love to see these two functions used in an example (or two) so i can figure out how precisely they are used.
The server example has a while(1) loop which throws it into an infinite loop. The example should be fixed to not do that.
"This guide assumes you already have a good general idea about C, UNIX and networks."Can we agree on a good Wikibook, or at least a free reference, on these? Obviously, this book would cover C, but providing links to the networking and Unix dependencies would be nice. I'll look around and come back with some suggestions.Ingcake (discuss •contribs)18:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
