I complile the following C code of UDP client
after I run './udpclient localhost 9191' in terminal.I put "Enter Text= " as Hello, but it is showing error in sendto as below:
Enter text: hello
hello
: error in sendto()guest-1SDRJ2@md-K42F:~/Desktop$
"
Note: I open 1st the server port as below in other terminal
./server 9191.
I beleive there is no error in server code. The udp client is not passing message to server. If I don't use
thread , the message is passing .But I have to do it by
thread.
