Hello people,
here I was writing some code to initiate connection in endless loop, and
got stuck abit.. I would be greateful, if you could clarify some things.
so I had in my code:
sockfd=socket(..);
while(1)
{
connect();
write();
read() with select() till remote closes connection(read returns eof);
}
but I feel like I will have to disconnect socket first, b/c I get "socket
is already connected otherwise".
I wonder how should this be done?
all what comes in mind is:
while(1)
{
sockfd=socket(..);
connect();
write();
read() with select() till remote closes connection(got eof);
close(sockfd);
}
but isn't it an overkill?
also, does connect modify sockaddr_in structure (so I would have to renew
it every time) or it's save enough to do it once. (so far I haven't noted
connect does any mess with it, but... )
Thanks beforehands
Best regards
Fyodor
