The code that’s there isresponsible for reaping zombie processes that appear as the fork()ed child processes exit. If youmake lots of zombies and don’t reap them, your system administrator will become agitated.)You can get the data from this server by using the client listed in the next section.5.2. A Simple Stream ClientThis guy’s even easier than the server. All this client does is connect to the host you specifyon the command line, port 3490. It gets the string that the server sends.The client source 13 :/*** client.c -- a stream socket client demo*/#include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define PORT 3490 // the port client will be connecting to#define MAXDATASIZE 100 // max number of bytes we can get at onceint main(int argc, char *argv[]){int sockfd, numbytes;char buf[MAXDATASIZE];struct hostent *he;struct sockaddr_in their_addr; // connector’s address informationif (argc != 2) {fprintf(stderr,"usage: client hostname\n");exit(1);}if ((he=gethostbyname(argv[1])) == NULL) {herror("gethostbyname");exit(1);}// get the host infoif ((sockfd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1) {perror("socket");exit(1);}13 http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/examples/client.c

Very useful.5.3. Datagram SocketsI really don’t have that much to talk about here, so I’ll just present a couple of sample programs:talker.c and listener.c.listener sits on a machine waiting for an incoming packet on port 4950. talker sends a packetto that port, on the specified machine, that contains whatever the user enters on the command line.Here is the source for listener.c 14 :/*** listener.c -- a datagram sockets "server" demo*/#include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define MYPORT 4950#define MAXBUFLEN 100// the port users will be connecting toint main(void){int sockfd;struct sockaddr_in my_addr; // my address informationstruct sockaddr_in their_addr; // connector’s address informationsocklen_t addr_len;int numbytes;char buf[MAXBUFLEN];14 http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/examples/listener.c
