c socket（C座） Socket data transmission over the network is a special I/O, and Socket is also a file descriptor. Socket also has a function call Socket () similar to the open file, which returns an integer Socket descriptor, followed by connection creation, data transfer, and so on, through the Socket. What is Socket? The Socket interface is the API of the TCP/IP network, and the Socket interface defines many functions or routines that programmers can use to develop applications on the TCP/IP network. To learn the TCP/IP network programming on Internet, you must understand the Socket interface. The Socket interface designer first puts the interface inside the Unix operating system. Its easy to understand Socket if you understand the input and output of the Unix system. Socket data transmission over the network is a special I/O, and Socket is also a file descriptor. Socket also has a function call Socket () similar to the open file, which returns an integer Socket descriptor, followed by connection creation, data transfer, and so on, through the Socket. There are two commonly used Socket types: the streaming Socket (SOCK_STREAM) and the datagram Socket (SOCK_DGRAM). Streaming is a connection oriented Socket for connection oriented TCP service applications; datagram Socket is a connectionless Socket, corresponding to connectionless UDP service applications. Socket build In order to build Socket, the program can call the Socket function, which returns a handle similar to the file descriptor. The socket function is modeled as: Int socket (int, domain, int, type, int, protocol); Domain indicates the protocol used for the family, usually PF_INET, said the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP protocol); type parameter specifies the type of socket: SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM, the Socket interface also defines the original Socket (SOCK_RAW), the program is allowed to use the low layer protocol; protocol usually assignment 0. The Socket () call returns an integer socket descriptor, which y
