Linux Socket Programming by Example (By Example)

Linux Socket Programming by Example begins with a very basic introduction to the fundamentals of socket level programming. As the chapters progress, you are introduced to related concepts, such as forming network addresses, Ipv6, the TCP/IP protocol suite and options, writing servers, and creating secure applications. You will also learn about socket fundamentals, domains and addresses, address conversion functions, socket types and protocols, Internet sockets, types and protocols, binding an address to a socket, using Datagram oriented protocols, and much more. This guide for beginning to intermediate programmers offers step-by-step instructions as well as advice on protecting servers from attack, writing programs to determine socket buffer sizes, setting the TCP/IP keep-alive feature, understanding the differences between connection- and connectionless-oriented protocols, and selecting the most effective client and server interface Demonstrates socket programming fundamentals, including writing servers, creating secure applications, address conversion functions, socket types, and TCP/IP protocols and options
