Sockets, time handling and keyboard interrupt handling in C
A new example from last week's C course - a simple TCP/IP server that processes one connection at a time, taking a user's input into a "giftbox" and returning the donantion made by the previous person. The scenario is that you may be given wonderful gifts by people - but sometimes they're not wonderful for you and you would like to swap them! It's all too easy when writing a new example to include too much into it so that readers are overwhelmed; I've tried in this case to make sockets simple, whilst at the same time providing something that works practically. The code illustrates: • a server written in C • some time handling in C • how we trap ^C (keyboard interrupts) in C via signals The code could be extended to provide • cleaner shutdown • forking to handle multiple parallel connections • extension to handle longer user input strings / gift descriptions • error checking • additional logging Program source is [here] - together with sample outputs from running it - on server, with client and the logfile. This is not something that we cover on every C / C++ course as it's specialist interest - but if you come on one of our public C courses and have an interest, I'll cover it after class f (written 2015-03-27, updated 2015-03-29) Associated topics are indexed as below, or enter http://melksh.am/nnnn for individual articles C211 - C and C based languages - Standard Libraries and other headers[3244] C and C++ - preprocess, compile, load, run - what each step is for - (2011-04-12) [3234] Your program - you just provide the filling in the sandwich - (2011-04-08) [3148] OpenGL / C / C++ - an example to get you started - (2011-01-26) [2575] Sharing variables between files of code in C - extern - (2010-01-14)
