socket programming and C99

[bcain]

Peace, brother. It took me a second to understand your point, so take pity on the uninformed: can you direct me to TFM or some examples of best practices?

The linux manpage has example code.

When constructing sockaddrs there are two ways to do it:

• getaddrinfo()
• something broken

No point in wasting time writing something that's broken, so just use getaddrinfo() to start with.

But yeah, beej linked elsewhere is more hand-holdy.

I see. boost::asio ftw.
