Morning Fellas,
Need some pointers from you folks. Am stuck with a
simple issue.
On the server i have a struct defined as:
struct sendbuff {
int count;
char toprint[10000];
};
My objective is to pack this buffer across the n/w
and recv it on the client. count is a simple counter
which i am usign to keep track of the lost/unordered
packets is any. My recv system call on the client is
as follows. mybuff on the client has been declared of
type struct sendbuff.
while(1) //Beggining of While
{
while(bytesrcvd<sizeof(mybuff)) {
if ((numbytes=recv(sockfd, (char *)&mybuff,
sizeof(mybuff), 0)) == -1) {
perror("recv");
exit(1);
}
bytesrcvd=numbytes+bytesrcvd;
}
printf("mybuff.toprint is
%s\n",mybuff.toprint); //Problematic
printf("mybuff.count is %d\n",mybuff.count);
//Problematic
.....etc
} //End of While
On the client mybuff is of type sendbuff. The whole
problem is that i am unable to interpret the contents
of mybuff which is being used to store the contents of
the recv() system call.
Have outlined the two printf() which i need to work
out as //problematic. I know this issue centers around
the little/big eindian format issue. Am just going
round and round in cirles and would apperciate f/b in
helping obtain and print the following:
mybuff.toprint and mybuff.count
Also one last thing. As the buffer(toprint) size
changes the charactersitics of the problem i face
increases..:D.
Thanks in advance folks.
Trevor
