Sockets in C & Java API

This repository contains implementations of socket programming in C & java , demonstrating basic client-server communication using TCP and UDP protocols. It provides practical examples for creating, managing, and handling sockets, using the standard C socket API.

Features

  • TCP Client-Server Communication: Example of connection-oriented communication using SOCK_STREAM for reliable data transmission.
  • UDP Client-Server Communication: Demonstrates connectionless communication using SOCK_DGRAM, suitable for faster, less reliable data exchange.
  • Cross-platform: Works on Linux environments and other POSIX-compliant systems.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • GCC or any C compiler.
  • POSIX-compliant operating system (Linux, macOS).
  • Basic knowledge of C & java programming.

Compilation

Use gcc or javac to compile the programs. Example for compiling the TCP client and server:

gcc -o server tcp_server.c
gcc -o client tcp_client.c
