May I know how do I write a simple C network program in UNIX FreeBSD? I have bought some UNIX Network Programming books, but the problem is, the book straight away jump into some complex program - without showing how to compile and execute a simple program in the correct location in UNIX. I even did some searches online, which eventually lead me to this particular article at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/socket/ - but this article still doesn't show me how to compile a simple C program. I know a bit about echoing a Hello World by simply typing the following:- abc# echo "Hello World!" Hello World! abc# So, my question is ... 1. How can I write a very simple C network program ... to lets say I wanted to ping google.com ??? 2. Which directory / location in UNIX should I go to? 3. How do I compile and execute the simple C network program - lets say doing a ping on google.com??? Thanks for any help.
