Are you sure that there is no program/protocol out there that does that
already?
Can you give me some pointers of direction and language to choose. Where
to start my search for knowledge? Is it possible to do this with C?
Maybe. However, C is off-topic in this group; and so are scripting
languages. Here, we discuss standard C++ only. And to answer the next
obvious follow up question right away, in C++ you would have to rely on
OS-specific libraries for doing what you want. There is a C++ library FAQ
somewhere out there on the net that may contain pointers. Other than that,
those libraries are off-topic in this group and you would need to inquire
in news groups dedicated to your target platform.
