Résumé

If you're like most people who are new to a subject, you learn best by following clear, concise examples. The By Example Series follows a logical, linear teaching progression, taking you through small, gradual steps that enable you to see the big picture of what you are learning.

Linux Socket Programming by Example teaches you how to program sockets, as if networking was an appliance that you can turn on and off. Soon you'll be applying your Linux and C programming skills to effectively network clients and servers with confidence. In fact, the skills you'll learn apply to most any UNIX system, regardless of whether it's Linux, OpenBSD, or one of the commercial variants.

Protect your servers from attack by knowing your vulnerabilities and what you can do to eliminate threats
Master socket options by writing programs that determine socket buffer sizes, set the TCP/IP keep alive feature, and other options
Understand the differences between connection- and connectionless oriented protocols to select the most effective client and server interface
Create a simple broadcast server and a corresponding client using IPv4 sockets to rebroadcast external data feed to all internal clients
