The Linux Socket Programming book cites several programs which were too lengthy to include entirely in the text. This page gives you access to all the complete and commented code listings.

Chapter 9: Breaking Performance Barriers
	bored-child.c	Example of servlets that terminate if not enough activity.
	capped-servlets.c	Creates servlets up to a spoecified point. Keeps the host from overloading.
	fair-load.c	Balances the servlet load between tasks and select()s.
	heartbeat-client.c heartbeat-server.c	Example of how to manually determine if a server or client drops out.

	servlets-ondemand.c	Creates as many servlets as accepted connections.
	smart-select.c	Combines multitasking with select() system call.
	test-server.c	General server tester.
	urgent-receiver.c urgent-sender.c	Example of send and receiving urgent (out of band) messages.
Chapter 10: Designing Robust Linux Sockets
	restart-example.c	Example restarting a wayward process (WARNING: it does not always work!).
	sigpipe-client.c sigpipe-server.c	Example of getting and capturing the EPIPE signal.
Chapter 12: Using Java's Networking API
	DatagramIO.java	Datagram messenger
	SimpleEchoClient.java SimpleEchoServer.java	Client/server without I/O stream translation.
	EchoClient.java EchoServer.java	Client/server with I/O stream translation.
	ObjectReceiver.java ObjectSender.java	Sending and receiving objects.
	SimpleMulticastDestination.java SimpleMulticastSource.java	Simple multicast example.
	SimplePeerDestination.java SimplePeerSource.java	Simple datagram example.
	MessageGroupWindow.java MessageWindow.java	GUI-based datagram/multicast examples.
	ThreadedEchoServer.java	Threaded echo server.
	WindowChat.java	GUI-based socket (TCP) messenger.
	ErrorDialog.java	General GUI error display.
	IPv6Test.java	IPv6-support verifier.
Chapter 13: Designing and Using a C++ Socket Framework
	socket.cpp socket.h	Entire C++ framework.
	echo-client.cpp echo-server.cpp	Echo client/server example.
	broadcast-peer.cpp multicast-peer.cpp	Broadcast/multicast examples.
	peer-caller.cpp peer-replier.cpp	Dual program example for datagrams.
	peer.cpp	Peer-to-peer datagram example.

Chapter 15: Network Encapsulation with Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs)
	Time Server	Makefile.rpctime	This is a very simplified program that demonstrates passing scalar (simple) variables through an RPC connection. The rpcgen program creates all files from the .x file.
		rpctime.h
		rpctime.x
		rpctime_client.c
		rpctime_clnt.c
		rpctime_server.c
		rpctime_svc.c
	Process Table Server	Makefile.rpcproc	This program extends the types to include strings. The program's server opens a pipe to 'ps' and sends the resulting strings to the client. The new XDR file helps with data type conversion.
		rpcproc.h
		rpcproc.x
		rpcproc_client.c
		rpcproc_clnt.c
		rpcproc_server.c
		rpcproc_svc.c
		rpcproc_xdr.c
	Linked List Server	Makefile.rpclist	The rpcgen program allows you to create dynamic data types and send them over the communication link. It has some interesting limitations, though, which the book covers in detail.
		rpclist.h
		rpclist.x
		rpclist_client.c
		rpclist_clnt.c
		rpclist_server.c
		rpclist_svc.c
		rpclist_xdr.c
	List-Process Table Server	Makefile.rpcps	This program merges the list and proc-table programs to create a fielded, dynamic memory process information query.
		rpcps.h
		rpcps.x
		rpcps_client.c
		rpcps_clnt.c
		rpcps_server.c
		rpcps_svc.c
		rpcps_xdr.c

Chapter 16: Adding Security to Network Programs and SSL
	ssl_client.c	The SSL (with the OpenSSL API) client/server uses the standard socket interface as the starting point, and then, it does the handshaking for a secure connection.
	ssl_server.c
Chapter 17: Sharing Messages with Multicast, Broadcast, and Mbone
	bcast_client.c	Broadcasting, an older method of sharing information uses the network mask to send and receive general messages. Multicast replaces broadcast as a more WAN-friendly solution. Until multicasting is fully supported on the Internet, Mbone acts as a virtual network using IP-over-IP protocols.
	dgram_echo.c
	mcast_client.c
Chapter 18: The Power of Raw Sockets
	myping.c	Raw sockets permit you to experiment with nearly zero-level protocols, simplifying custom protocols.
	mytrace.c
	ping.c
Chapter 19: IPv6: The Next Generation to IP
	client_v6.c	When written right, converting to IPv6 from IPv4 is very simple and only requires a few changes. These examples show the few changes in socket creation and setup.
	server_v6.c
