Network Programming Questions

The document discusses various aspects of network programming, particularly focusing on TCP sockets and their functions. It covers topics such as the shutdown() function, TCP Echo Server implementation, I/O multiplexing with pselect(), socket timeouts, and differences between read()/write() and recv()/send(). Additionally, it addresses Unix domain sockets, socketpair() for communication, server types, and file descriptor transmission between processes.

Network Programming

Q1. What is the purpose of the shutdown() function in TCP sockets, and
how is it different from close()?

Q2. How do you write a basic TCP Echo Server using the socket API, and
what are its uses and limitations?

Q3. What is pselect() in I/O multiplexing, and how is it better than select()
for handling signals?

Q4. What are socket timeouts, and how can you set read/write timeouts
using setsockopt()?

Q5. How do read()/write() differ from recv()/send() in socket programming,


and when should you use each?

Q6. What are readv() and writev() system calls, and how do they improve
I/O efficiency?

Q7. What is the socket address structure for Unix domain sockets, and
how is it different from INET sockets?

Q8. What is socketpair() and how can it be used for full-duplex


communication between two processes?

Q9. How do you implement a Unix Domain Datagram client/server, and


how is it different from Stream sockets?

Q10. What is a TCP Iterative Server, and how does it compare to a


Concurrent Server?

Q11. What is a Preforked Server without locking around accept(), and


what issues can it cause?

Q12. How can one process send file descriptors to another using Unix
domain sockets?
