C and Ports

[Kadirpatel]

Hi All,
I want to read the data that comes to my PC port 80. I want to know that how can I read the data using Turbo C ?
Thanks.

Three functions are there in Turbo C for reading data from the hardware port.

int inportb(int portid);
int inp(unsigned portid);
unsigned inpw(unsigned portid);

What about port 80 ?.

Hi Maniraja S,
I dont have much knowledge about Internet. But I wanted to tell that, I wanted to do some Networking programming using C. My PC is connected to a LAN. So I think that the data arrives on port 80 and so i wanted to collected the data from there. Also I want to ask whether the data is encoded. If yes then how to decode it? Or let me know some site from where I can collect some information from. I know that there is more support for Network Programming in ANSI C. Can I get ANSCI C from somewhere?
Thanks.
Waiting for replies.

Kadirpatel,

What you need to do is set up a listening socket for TCP port 80. There are standard POSIX system calls which allow you to do this, namely socket(), listen(), and accept(). I do not know if Turbo C provides these calls or not. If not they are supported in Visual C++ or gcc.
