If people could help me out by giving examples of what they have successfully sent and recieved using BSD like network sockets.
Thanks
The type of the data you are sending has no real meaning to sockets......you are writting/recieving a chunk of memory...so you specify the size and the send/recv functions simply work with the amount of memory they are told to...As long as you are specifying the size in bytes properly, you shouldnt hae a worry
