CommonTater, Adak & Salem,
thanks a lot!
Makes sense now...

Hi all,
I've been programming in C language for a while now, years to be realistic.
I was looking at this file today, and I came across something that is (as an assumption) extremely easy, but for...

One of my first steps that I took when I started learning about sockets is to read about the topic, familiarize yourself with the environment and then just take a dive and see what happens.
This...

Adding some comments.
The previous code seems to actually work (post #8) with the one minor change of all select functions need to be as follows:


select_return = select(accept_socket+1, ........

Salem,
Thanks again for your input. I guess I wasn't thinking too much about it or else the scenario you mentioned would clearly provide an answer.

My question now is after looking at this for...

I need to ask a really dumb question....
If I create a non-blocking socket, it needs to be implemented on the host and the client, correct?

thanks

Thanks brewbuck.
So now I have re-written some of the code to utilize the select() function among others FD_SET, FD_ISSET, etc...
I am still seeing some weird behavior, but I will work on it some...

Thanks Salem for your reply.
I did leave out a bit of code that does error handling and checking.

Before I clarify what I meant with "takes less than a second to quit on me" let me say this...

Hi everyone...
I was trying to read other threads before I submit a duplicate, but I think I have some conceptual problem about setting non-blocking sockets with timeouts.

Basically, what I want...

thanks jeffcobb. I will keep that in mind.

oh you are good.....

I just fixed it (and that was indeed the missing step) but it is amazing that you didn't see my code to really assume that this step wasn't happening....

appreciate your...

You should use

scanf("%d", &points[game]);

Also, as msh said, you should use the index starting from 0.

However, one quick thing to do is to print all the numbers on the screen to verify...

I am working on this program that utilizes sockets.
So far, I have created all I need but I am running into this problem when performing the following steps:

I have a client and a host, and the...

Great! That fixed it.... although something funny is going on but I worked around it.

Thanks again brewbuck for your help!

Thanks brewbuck!
Right now, my ip is displaying 3.4.1.10
I am one step closer to the answer....


Is there a functionality in the socket library that resembles the ping command?

Usually, I...

Hi all,
I am working on a socket program and once I have merged two different programs together, I found out that there is an inconsistency that I am not able to find the answer to.

My program...

Thanks bernt,
I played with it some more and to my surprise, adding MS_RDONLY flag during the mount makes it work - not sure why since I can still write to the USB as well as delete, change content...

I am working on a small program written in C to mount and unmount a USB thumb drive on a Linux Ubuntu (Please see code below for mounting and unmounting). The problem I am facing is that each time...

thanks tabstop!!!

Hi all,
I've been playing around on a linux OS Ubuntu 9.04 and I wrote a small program that takes in a string as an argument.

The string is somewhat complicated so I terminate it with a ;...

Thanks!
I should've looked into the errno before asking this question..... silly me!

Thanks again!

your problem is simple....

if you want to get a number between 0 and 1, then you can't declare it as int x;
you should declare it as float x;

Hi everyone!
Here is a silly question!

The mkdir function:
int mkdir (const char *filename, mode_t mode)

has the following errnos:
EACCES, EEXIST, EMLINK, etc....

How can I find which one...

Correct - I meant the 2 to the power of m and not XOR

Oh yes - this is the not the XOR operator, it is the 2 to the power of m
