IP address of a server at runtime
Hello,

I developed a client task in C and a server task in C (an application strongly coupled). The client needs the server IP address to connect to the server. The problem is: I don't know in advance which machine will run the client and which machine will run the server so I can know the ip address of the server only at runtime My question: how at run time the client will know the ip address of the server?


Thank you so much for help

gems-client

GEMS-CLIENT(1)							gems documentation						    GEMS-CLIENT(1)

NAME

       gems-client - Show data transmitted by gems-server (1)

SYNOPSIS

       gems-client [-i] host [port]

       gems-client -h | -v

DESCRIPTION

       Connects to a computer running gems-server(1) to show in the local terminal the data transmitted, in real time.

OPTIONS

       host   Hostname or IP address where the server is running.

       port   TCP port used by the server. Default: 6666.

       -i     Ignore  server  terminal size. If this option is not supplied, gems-client disconnects itself whenever the local terminal is smaller
	      than the terminal associated to the server.

       -h     Show a short help message.

       -v     Show version information.

FUNCTION KEYS

       While gems-client is running, some keys have special functions:

       q      Quit.

       a      Enable/disable alarm blocking. When active, if the server transmits an alarm character ('a'), the client ignores it, so	the  alarm
	      does not play. This is specially useful when many clients are present in the same room, to avoid the annoying simultaneous beeps.
