Full Discussion: Need help about read() and write() on TCP/IP
Top Forums Programming Need help about read() and write() on TCP/IP Post 302469557 by Loic Domaigne on Sunday 7th of November 2010 01:49:29 AM

Is it a homework? In this case, post in the Homework forum...

You first need to define a protocol between your server and your client (on top of TCP), so that both understand the command "server is busy update", "select beer", "light/black", "select quantity", "liter/bottle"

On the client side:
- The client connects to the server.
- The client reads the answer from the server. Note that you will have to implement a timeout on the read().
- The client sends back answer to the server as appropriate.

On the server side:
- the server accepts the connection
- the server sends reply to the client
- the server reads reply from the client
The implementation of the "server busy update" is tricky: you'll have to fork (or create a new thread) upon each connection. Only one client can be served at a time; the other children/threads should take care of the "busy update".

HTH,
Loïc

auscope

AUSCOPE(1)						      General Commands Manual							AUSCOPE(1)

NAME

       auscope - Network Audio System Protocol Filter

SYNOPSIS

       auscope [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       auscope	is  an	audio  protocol  filter  that can be used to view the network packets being sent between an audio application and an audio
       server.

       auscope is written in Perl, so you must have Perl installed on your machine in order to run  auscope.   If  your  Perl  executable  is  not
       installed  as  /usr/local/bin/perl,  you should modify the first line of the auscope script to reflect the Perl executable's location.  Or,
       you can invoke auscope as

       perl auscope [ option ] ...

       assuming the Perl executable is in your path.

       To operate, auscope must know the port on which it should listen for audio clients, the name of the desktop  machine  on  which	the  audio
       server  is running and the port to use to connect to the audio server.  Both the output port (server) and input port (client) are automati-
       cally biased by 8000.  The output port defaults to 0 and the input port defaults to 1.

ARGUMENTS

       -i<input-port>
	       Specify the port that auscope will use to take requests from clients.

       -o<output-port>
	       Determines the port that auscope will use to connect to the audio server.

       -h<audio server name>
	       Determines the desktop machine name that auscope will use to find the audio server.

       -v<print-level>
	       Determines the level of printing which auscope will provide.  The print-level can be 0 or 1.  The larger  numbers  provide  greater
	       output detail.

EXAMPLES

       In  the	following  example,  mcxterm is the name of the desktop machine running the audio server, which is connected to the TCP/IP network
       host tcphost.  auscope uses the desktop machine with the -h command line option, will listen for client requests on port 8001  and  connect
       to the audio server on port 8000.

       Ports  (file  descriptors)  on the network host are used to read and write the audio protocol.  The audio client auplay will connect to the
       audio server via the TCP/IP network host tcphost and port 8001:

	      auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm

	      auplay -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 dial.snd

       In the following example, the auscope verbosity is increased to 1, and the audio client autool will connect to the  audio  server  via  the
       network host tcphost, while displaying its graphical interface on another server labmcx:

	      auscope -i1 -o0 -hmcxterm -v1

	      autool -audio tcp/tcphost:8001 -display labmcx:0.0
