Hey sir i need you help related to Develop a client/server application using Linux TCP sockets and the C programming language.
I will share the more information on mail. Please respond me.

look at the signals that may help you.

I’m wondering that, too. As soon as I change from the localhost address, I start getting message refused on the client.

Were you able to? I have a project coming up that this could be very useful for

thanks for sharing.

fixed it. try to compile the code now.
it should work.

And whats the real good code?

Not if you understand what the code does and how to correct the mistakes in it, it hangs after a while due to zombie threads and not closing the file descriptor after use!

A lot of people just copy an paste without actually understanding what each line does, there is no wonder it doesn’t work for people who do this! How many times have you found code on the web that work out of the box without having to modify it? For me, never!

You have to include this: #include

Just add the header file in the program “#include”

Yes, it fixes the bug with memory leakage but disables the multiple clients functionality, so this example doesn’t really work :( I cann’t solve this problem yet.

1. The file descriptor is never closed when the thread is freed. After a while this eats up all of the file descriptors in the operating system. To fix this, add close(sock); just before free(sock_desc), like so:
//Free the socket pointer
close(sock)
free(socket_desc);
return 0;

2. There is a memory leak that can be fixed by uncommenting //pthread_join( sniffer_thread , NULL);

When these two issues are corrected it works perfectly for me.

pranav i used the single client code but had the same problem. so what you can do in every code of server and client after printing initialize the char array to null. worked for me.
