Sockets in C

[Resident_Geek]

I've searched the heck out of google.com/linux, and I can't seem to find any tutorials on programming sockets in C. I understand TCP/IP very well, I just need the syntax. I didn't try just google.com, because I got several winsock tutorials even in the Linux search, so I figured I'd be overwhelmed by them. Should I try the main Google search, or should I be looking someplace else? Does anyone know of a good one?

here's some good examples in this book (it's free)

You could also take a look at Brian Halls
Beej's Guide to Network Programming

And/or the man pages for socket(2), bind(2), listen(2), accept(2), and connect(2). That's the basic BSD socket interface layer.

(BTW -- when I say socket(2), I mean the socket manpage in manpage section 2. You'd get to it by doing a man 2 socket)

Here is a great tutorial that I used:

Thank you so much, guys. And bkwaz, that was an excellent tip. I've seen references to things like awk(2) and ping(8), but I had no idea what that meant. Now I do! :D
