Re: [gentoo-user] Tcp Listener

Thank you Grant and William. I wasn't aware of python programming and now
that I have looked some stuff it seems indeed much simpler to implement it
with. I'll look into it.

  No. Why are you asking?
 

 He is asking because its one of the common C/C++ computer science
 assignments!

 In practice, perl, python are usually simpler and easier to use.

 and the google-fu needed is to search for a TCP echo server to use as a
 staring point.

Well it's actually a project for a company that needs a tcp listener for
the data sent by the devices. You are right about my question. It's a bit
irrelevant with gentoo but I'm working on gentoo and I'm asking this list
because I consider its users have wide knowledge on general programming. In
fact I got a good suggestion and I believe my search is done. Thank you
anyway.

 It's worded like one, and it's your first post to this list I can find.
 Google the topic do my homework for me.

 There's always a chance it's a genuine question though. If so, you are
 unlikely to get decent answers here, this is a user-based support list
 for users of Gentoo. Your question is better directed to forums that
 deal with C programming as their core topic.
