How do I… Use sockets? Do networking? Write client/server applications?
All of these questions are outside of the scope of this list and have much more to do with the networking facilities which you have available than they do with C. Good books on the subject are Douglas Comer’s three-volume Internetworking with TCP/IP and W. R. Stevens’s UNIX Network Programming. There is also plenty of information out on the net itself, including the “Unix Socket FAQ”, and “Beej’s Guide to Network Programming”. (One tip: depending on your OS, you may need to explicitly request the -lsocket and -lnsl libraries; see question 13.25.) comp.lang.c FAQ list · Question 19.40a Q: Can I combine .OBJ and .LIB files from Microsoft C and Turbo C? A: Not easily; see the comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ list. comp.lang.c FAQ list · Question 19.40b Q: How do I… Use BIOS calls? Write ISR’s? Create TSR’s? A: These are very particular to specific systems (PC compatibles running MS-DOS, most likely). You’ll get much better information in a specific newsgroup such as comp.os.
