tcp and fork

[marconi]

hallo there,

Can anyone help me to look at my fork problems? I can't seem to
work up the piping..the reason i need that for is because i need to
make a counter global to client and server.(once fork start,
counter will reset). This allow me to communicate with my
counter.....pls help and thanks a lot

if ( ((connfd=Accept (listenfd, (SA *) &cliaddr,

the request

%d\n", pipe1[0], pipe1[1]);

****This is the function where i neeed to
use pipe for

str_echo(connfd ,cliaddr,clilen ,childpid-
,&mycounter,pip e1[0],pipe1[1],max_clien-
t,wait_time,myc lients);

}

else if (childpid >0)

{

Close(pipe1[1]); // parent
closes connected socket //

}

}

Your code depends way too much on non-standard extensions to C to be
topical here. Please ask on comp.unix.progr ammer instead. Thanks.

Off-topic in c.l.c, comp.unix.progr ammer.

<snip gadawfully formatted piece of offtopic source code>

Before posting to comp.unix.progr ammer, reformat it. It's horrible. Use
two-space indentation for example, and get rid of all the excess spaces.

In a large part of the global world, the fork is held in the left
hand, and the knife in the right. A majority (but definitely not
all) of USAnians reverse this, in that they put down the knife
and transfer the fork to the right hand. The piping is generally
implemented with a straw, and it is customary to tip the server.

Since the C standard has no definitions contrary to the above, my
reply is quite suitable. In other words, you are off topic, and
should look for a newsgroup that deals with your system.
comp.unix.progr amming and alt.gourmet come to mind.

As others have mentioned, your question is off-topic here;
the folks in comp.unix.progr ammer can probably help you.

Before you post there, I strongly suggest that you make sure that any
code samples you include are *exactly* the code that you've actually
compiled, preferably a complete, self-contained, short program.

I mention this because you refer to functions "Accept", "Fork", and
"Close". Unix-like systems typically do not provide these functions,
but they do provide functions "accept", "fork", and "close".
