The typical TCP client goes through four basic steps:
1. Create a TCP socket using socket().
2. Establish a connection to the server using connect ().3. Communicate using send() and recv().
4. Close the connection with close().
There are four steps for TCP server communication:
1.Create a TCP socket using socket().
2. Assign a port n u m b e r to the socket with bind().
3. Tell the system to allow connections to be made to that port, using l i s t e n ( ) .
4. Repeatedly do the following:
Call accept () to get a new socket for each client connection.
Communicate with the client via that new socket using send() and recv().
Close the client connection using close().
