Thread: socket connection error

I have a server and when I try to connect to the server with a lient with connect function it returns a value of '1' I read the definition of connect, it says that upon uccessful completion it return 0 or else -1. I'm confused because what I get is neither of these. can this '1' be a error number. if so any one knows what it is or how can find out what the error is?? thank you

well disregard this post Its a -1 I get not a 1 ..... sorry

but can some one tell me how to find what faied. I mean why did connect() faied ???

OS Dependant.

WSAGetLastError/errno.

I dint understant what u said I'm using FC5

this is my code.... nothing major just want to test my server

Code:

void main()
{
   int soc, n, t, d;
   char *er;
   char recvline[51], *address= {"127.0.0.1\n"};
   struct sockaddr_in serveradd;
   //struct sockaddr SA;

   if(soc= socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)<0)
   {
      printf("socket error\n");
   }

   serveradd.sin_family = AF_INET;
   serveradd.sin_port = htons(3879);
   //serveradd.sin_addr= &address;

   if((t = inet_pton(AF_INET, address, &serveradd.sin_addr)<=0))
   {
      printf("pton eror for %d\n", t );
   }

   if(d =connect(soc, (struct sockaddr *)&serveradd, sizeof(serveradd)))

      printf("connection error %d", d);
      //err_sys("%c", er);



    recv(soc, &recvline, 51, MSG_WAITALL);
   /*{
      printf("data : %c ", n);
   }*/

   close(soc);
}

"OS dependent" means...

The value of errno is dependent on the implementation. On any UNIX variant you can use perror() to display a nice error message or any Windows system, you can get the error number by WSAGetLastError().

Your code looks like a UNIX code, so use perror().
