My university has a lan and i thought it would be fun to write a chat program for the lan, but i dont know how to proceed, can anyone help me out?<br /> <br /> Thanks<br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/Linux/385694/385694/chat-program-using-linux-networking/ Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:03:49 -0700 LINUX programming http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/Linux/385694/385970/re-chat-program-using-linux-networking/#385970 Maybe you could fork your main process into two:<br /> <br /> The father will read user input and send it through the socket.<br /> The son will receive data and display it on the screen. <br /> <br /> If I am right, you can't use the same socket for both son and father, as the file descriptor (the socket) is not shared among them. Each process (father and son) will open its own connection. You could also use a thread, which I think that would make your job a lot easier.<br /> <br /> Anyway, it is an idea.<br /> Good luck!<br /> http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/Linux/385694/385970/re-chat-program-using-linux-networking/#385970 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:45:06 -0700 LINUX programming http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/Linux/385694/385971/re-chat-program-using-linux-networking/#385971 Maybe you could fork your main process into two:<br /> <br /> The father will read user input and send it through the socket.<br /> The son will receive data and display it on the screen. <br /> <br /> If I am right, you can't use the same socket for both son and father, as the file descriptor (the socket) is not shared among them.
