26 Socket Addressing and Client Socket Programming

1 Sockets

1. socket很像一个文件
2. 本质上,socket是一个文件描述符指向网络设备而不是一个硬盘上的文件
3. int socket(int domain, int type, int protocol);
   1. domain is the addressing domain of socket
   2. HTTP traffic is over TCP, so that would be SOCK_STREAM. If we wanted to open a UDP socket, the keyword would be SOCK_DGRAM
   3. protocol is additional information about the protocol of the socket, but we will not need to use this option, so we’ll set it to 0.
   4. 成功返回文件描述符,失败返回-1.
