TCP server by using pure C

Question

Hi guys, Actually I am looking around for a good and step by step tutorial for implementing TCP server and sockets, something like what SoloLearn do. But did not find anything like that.
Does anyone know a specific course ?

Answer 1

You will have to look for socket/networking programming for your particular targeted development environment. Support for networking is not built into the language itself but provided as API by the operating system.

I don't have any online resource available now. But there are books on "andvanced linux programming" that cover sockets, and books specifically targeting "network programming". Perhaps you find a good resource there instead of trying to find some online tutorial.

Answer 2

There are a couple of online tutorials below is one:

https://ops.tips/blog/a-tcp-server-in-c/

Also sometimes its helpful to read other peoples code:
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/academic/class/15213-f99/www/class26/tcpserver.c

GNU C Library online:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/

Hope some of those are helpful in your research.
