[fpc-pascal] Sockets in FPC
Hi I need to write a daemon on Linux which will wait on a user defined port (say 3) and parse the socket input to write into a Mysql database. Can anybody suggest examples in FPC ? Presently , I am using TCL for this. The problem is the behaviour of Gets function in TCL.. It is buffered with EOF as newline. But i need the socket to have a user defined char like ':' and it should be unbuffered too. I mean dont want an Enter keyed to be at the end. We use various GPRS modules on embedded devices, each with its own nuances of terminating a string. So we can't afford to have a 'normal' gets or readln behaviours. Please help regards Nataraj ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Please help regards Nataraj Hi Nataraj, I'm not sure about actual code examples, but you could try the Synapse Pascal TCP/IP library classes, they work on Win32, Linux and I'm pretty sure MAC OS too :-) http://www.ararat.cz/synapse/doku.php cheers, Paul ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Take a look at synapse and the examples provided with the source and on their page. I remember there was a well documented example for a ftp-server, which uses exactly the techniques you need for building a service. To daemonize a program on linux there are quite some examples on the net. regards Lukas -- -- software security networks Lukas Gradl fpc#ssn.at Eduard-Bodem-Gasse 9 A - 6020 Innsbruck Tel: +43-512-214040-0 Fax: +43-512-214040-21 -- ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
