[LCP]question

[subin jose]

u can do that using calls write() and read()
but before that socket descriptors are to be created using socket() call and 
binded to the port u want to listen to using bind()call basic algorithm 
needed for both client and server is below
server

For Server
1.	Create a socket descriptor of family internet(AF_INET) and type TCP 
(SOCK_STREAM) using the procedure call socket()
2.	portno to be used is read from the user and converted to networkbyte 
order using htons().
3.	Declare a variable of structure sockaddr_in to store server details and 
initialise the members
4.	Bind the variable with the socket descriptor using the call bind()

5.	Listen for any incoming connections at socket descriptor using call 
listen()
6.	Accept any request for connection using call accept()which returns a new 
socket descriptor for the connection
7.use call write() to write to the connected client
9.	Close the connection using call close()
For Client
1.	Create a socket descriptor of family internet(AF_INET) and type TCP 
(SOCK_STREAM) using the procedure call socket()
2.	portno to be used is read from the user and converted to networkbyte 
order.
3.	Host name is read from the user and is converted to the address using a 
function call gethostbyname()which returns a pointer to astructure of type 
hostent which contains the fields addr for the address and length which 
stores the length of the address.
4.	Declare a variable of structure sockaddr_in to store server details and 
initialise the members using values from the above.
5.	Bind the variable with the socket descriptor using the call bind()
6.	Connect to the server using the call connect()
7.	Read the contents transmitted from server using the call read()
8.	close the connection
