write socket listener in c language

[garywhw]

Hi Expert

i am pretty new in c language and unix, but i was required to write server socket listener that will read and filter a list of parameters pumped by a client through the server socket, in c language at a unix box.

Please advise on how to write a server socket listener that is able to listen and write parameters passed to it from client. secondly, how to go about writing a client in c language that will pump a list of parameters to the server?

Please advise with a simple example and explanation or please provide me with a reference site so that i may move on from there.

i will really appreciate any of your input.

God bless
Gary

This site helped me a lot when I started writing my IRC server, it's a great resource.

If you are new to Network programming i would recommend you to read the book from Richard Stevens "Unix Network programming" ISBN 0-13-949876-1

1990 by Prentice Hall

There are some examples in there and one is exact your problem
