Create a connection of an arbitrary type
Provide a generic way to create a connection of an arbitrary type and from a particular domain
Division of two peers on server and client is purely abstract, because actually just after creating a connection of type SOCK_STREAM
we close real server socket and associate its child socket, with srvr_s
parameter of the function.
For connection of type SOCK_STREAM
use algorithm Create a connection with connection oriented sockets.
For connection of type SOCK_DGRAM
use algorithm Create a connectionless pair of sockets that can communicate with each other without specifying any addresses in their I/O operations.
Parameters:
srvr |
PCO where server socket is created |
clnt |
PCO where client socket is created |
sock_type |
Socket type used in the connection |
proto |
Protocol for the connection |
srvr_addr |
Server address to be used as a template for bind() on server side |
clnt_addr |
Address to bind client to |
srvr_s |
Descriptor of the socket reside on |
clnt_s |
Descriptor of the socket reside on |
