the sockets unit should work exactly like any tutorial for c sockets for linux. a handful of the functuons need an fp prefix but should work mostly the same.<span id="ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span><br>

<b>Subject:</b> [fpc-pascal] How to implement a simple tcp/ip connection?</font>
<div> </div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I need to implement a simple dedicated TCP/IP connection between a <br>
client and a server. Nothing fancy, just sending and receiving short <br>
strings. I have used in the past for that purpose the unit Sockets <br>
lifting it from Kylix. This unit was taking advantage of libc, and this <br>
rules it out.<br>
<br>
I see that fpc provides a Socket unit in rtl-extra and a fpSock unit in <br>
fcl-net. At first glance they both appear to provide what I need.<br>
<br>
Can somebody which has used those units point me in the right direction, <br>
before I painfully study in detail those units.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
<br>
Giuliano<br>
