Using the debugging tools sockets interface

The debugging tools sockets interface supports the protocols between a TCP/IP client and a TCP/IP server.

About this task

The protocols are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Protocols between client and server
This shows the protocols between a client program and a server program that are supported by the debugging tools sockets interface
In addition, the client and the server can issue the following calls:
  • GETHOSTID
  • GETHOSTBYNAME
  • GETSOCKNAME
The WRITE and READ calls can be repeated as often as required, and can be used to send data in either direction.
