Address family not supported by protocol
The code passes the wrong destination address and wrong number of arguments to inet_pton()
. (For the latter the compiler should have warned you about, btw)
This line
inet_pton(AF_INET, "127.0.0.1", &server, sizeof(server));
should be
inet_pton(AF_INET, "127.0.0.1", &server.sin_addr);
Verbatim from man inet_pton
:
int inet_pton(int af, const char *src, void *dst);
AF_INET
[...] The address is converted to a struct in_addr and copied to dst, which must be sizeof(struct in_addr) (4) bytes (32 bits) long.
Not related to the problem, but also an issue, is that read()
returns ssize_t
not int
.
The following lines shall be adjusted:
int n;
[...]
printf("%d, %s\n", n, buf);
to become:
ssize_t n;
[...]
printf("%zd, %s\n", n, buf);
Set the server address like this;
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(host);
addr.sin_port = htons(port);
