Hi! I don't have experiance in linux C programming. I took a linux socket programming book and tried the first example code but It didn't work. I use these codes.. please help me!
Thanks for your replies

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int
main(int argc,char **argv) {
    int z;                   /* Status return code */
    int s[2];                /* Pair of sockets */
    /*
      * Create a pair of local sockets:
      */
    z = socketpair(AF_LOCAL,SOCK_STREAM,0,s);
    if ( z == -1 ) {
         fprintf(stderr,
             “%s: socketpair(AF_LOCAL,SOCK_STREAM,0)\n”,
             strerror(errno));
         return 1;           /* Failed */
    }
    /*
      * Report the socket file descriptors returned:
      */
    printf(“s[0] = %d;\n”,s[0]);
    printf(“s[1] = %d;\n”,s[1]);
    system(“netstat --unix -p”);
    return 0;
}

Hello umesh
It seems to me that the code you collected from a tutorial website, where each double quote is converted to back quotes. And you may know that Linux C/C++ compilers like (gcc/g++) does not support back quotes.

Sample erroneous lines from you code -

Code:

 fprintf(stderr,
             “%s: socketpair(AF_LOCAL,SOCK_STREAM,0)\n”,
             strerror(errno));


You can easily notice the illegal back quotes before %s and after \n.....
Some other erroneous lines from your code are -
Code:

printf(“s[0] = %d;\n”,s[0]);
    printf(“s[1] = %d;\n”,s[1]);
    system(“netstat --unix -p”);


So, remove the back quotes and place double quotes instead (you can find the double quotes beside your ENTER key on your keyboard.

Study linux socket programming, gather knowledge and then code yourself.

Happy programming,
Ashis

Some helpful books include -
"Beginning Linux Programming
--Wrox publication
--writers: Neil Mathew & Richard Stones"


"Professional Linux Programming"
--Wrox publication
--writers: Neil Mathew & Richard stones"

If you want to grasp Linux networking (not programming the network environment), you can get a certification course like - RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) or CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associates).

After completion of these courses, you will really enjoy (I bet) programming the network environment especially linux sockets.

These errors all arise from back-quotes and foreward-quotes. Replace those and it should compile fine.

And a quick note: if you're living in Europe, the double quote key is not next to enter - instead, it's probably shift-2.
