Explanation
Server (server.cpp):
- Socket Creation:
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0): Creates a TCP socket.AF_INET: Address family for IPv4.SOCK_STREAM: Specifies a TCP socket.
Advertisement - Bind Socket:
bind(): Binds the socket to the specified address and port.
- Listen and Accept:
listen(): Marks the socket as passive and ready to accept incoming connections.accept(): Waits for an incoming connection and accepts it.
Advertisement - Read Data:
read(): Reads data from the socket into a buffer.
- Close Socket:
close(): Closes the socket connections.
Client (client.cpp):
- Socket Creation:
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0): Creates a TCP socket.
- Server Address:
inet_pton(AF_INET, "127.0.0.1", &serv_addr.sin_addr): Converts IP address to binary form.
- Connect to Server:
connect(): Connects the client socket to the server’s address.
- Send Data:
send(): Sends a message to the server.
- Close Socket:
close(): Closes the socket connection.
Usage
