socket_tcp4b3diet

Create a blocking tcp/ip stream socket

Usage

#include <socket.h>

int socket_tcp4b();

Overview

socket_tcp4b creates a blocking TCP/IP stream socket and returns a file descriptor pointing to that socket. If something goes wrong, socket_tcp4b returns -1, setting errno appropriately, without allocating any resources.

Examples

#include <socket.h>

int s;
char ip[4];
uint16 p;

s = socket_tcp4b();
socket_bind4(s,ip,p);
socket_connect4(s,ip,p);
