listener
Ok I found some information on running Unix commands from C so that is good now back to the main topic, I spent some time and looked at Beej and I went from somewhat confused to totally confused on a number of points.
1. When some of the methods are called the variables used are sometimes not declared in his examples, which is confusing the heck out of me.
2. It only shows starting the listener by the method listen(), but my confusion is that after you declare how long does it listen before it stops?
3. In order to recieve, which I am assuming would be in the same program and after the listener is started, does it continue looking for something to recieve before it moves on, or do I need to put it into some sort of loop?
4. Off topic now but still very much needed. Can I compile a C program in windows and then transfer it over to a linux machine to run? Reason for this is because the linux machine I have doesn't have enough memory for a compiler.
Any suggestions or solutions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
