sockets

hi,
I have a question about C sockets. Is this possible:
1. start application, and establish socket connection.
2. quit application, without closing connections (!!)
3. restart application, and continue using old connections?

I know it sounds strange, but can it be done?

This is a question about implementation-specific extensions. Please ask
in a newsgroup dedicated to your own implementation.

I think it's impossible,cos all the resource will be set free after quit
the application.

There're no such things as C sockets. Some platforms provide socket
libraries, but each will have its own interface and properties. You need
to find a newsgroup dedicated to your platform.

If you are asking about BSD sockets, comp.unix.programmer would be
appropriate.
