There is more than one way to do womething in C as you know. Using
pre-defined macros or making a whole struct and using members(hope I'm clear
if not I will explain). I don't have my unix networking book yet and I am
experimenting. I made some syntax errors in the code I posted in getting
excited and tried to pass ints to the wrong places. I did manage to get
socket() to return the number 3 and not -1 so I must be doing something
right. But no more than I expect without a good book. My code in C will be
much less expert than C experts and computer scientist. I'm a hobbyist. I
don't use some short cuts like ?: and += because the code confuses me. I
like it written out.

Whatever others claim I have not looked into posix seriously in the past
and I'm not going to do anything with windows.

Oh my. Is world coming to an end? Is that a threat? Damn Bill Cunningham
might post. Shut down the financial markets.

You better speak up we don't want anyone to miss that typo in the word
"There" above. Folks that should've been "their".

My comment has nothing to do with POSIX or multiple ways to do
something. You were confused about where to put assignment statements
in a program.

I'm dropping out of this (and all your other threads). I really need to
learn DNFTT.
