Hopefully, though, it’ll be just enough for those man pages to start making sense… :-) 1.2 Platform and Compiler It is certainly not the complete and total guide to sockets programming, by any means. It is probably at its best when read by individuals who are just starting out with socket programming and are looking for a foothold. This document has been written as a tutorial, not a complete reference. This document should give the average competent C programmer the edge s/he needs to get a grip on this networking noise.Īnd check it out: I’ve finally caught up with the future (just in the nick of time, too!) and have updated the Guide for IPv6! Enjoy! 1.1 Audience Well, guess what! I’ve already done this nasty business, and I’m dying to share the information with everyone! You’ve come to the right place. Hey! Socket programming got you down? Is this stuff just a little too difficult to figure out from the man pages?
