In practice, perl, python are usually simpler and easier to use. and the google-fu needed is to search for a TCP echo server to use as a staring point. BillK

It's worded like one, and it's your first post to this list I can find. Google the topic "do my homework for me". There's always a chance it's a genuine question though. If so, you are unlikely to get decent answers here, this is a user-based support list for users of Gentoo. Your question is better directed to forums that deal with C programming as their core topic. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Tcp Listener
Thank you Grant and William. I wasn't aware of python programming and now that I have looked some stuff it seems indeed much simpler to implement it with. I'll look into it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Tcp Listener
Well it's actually a project for a company that needs a tcp listener for the data sent by the devices. You are right about my question. It's a bit irrelevant with gentoo but I'm working on gentoo and I'm asking this list because I consider its users have wide knowledge on general programming. In fact I got a good suggestion and I believe my search is done. Thank you anyway.

Re: [gentoo-user] Tcp Listener
Maybe I miss your problem.But there is a command line program names 'netcat', which can send/receive TCP/UDP messages. also would be nice to check its source code if you are interested to writing your own. 2014-02-04 xarman : > I'm interested in making a TCP Listener in C / C++ on Linux to accept > many connections simultaneously.
