could you please explain that in some detail as I'm NOT a expert in client-server programming.

Well, your problem is that you some sort of connection set up (I was assuming a socket in the above) and need to associate data (settings in your case) with that connection. So you have to somehow 'bundle' that information, and that's where structs come in handy.

I'm not closing connection after each client is served. I'm using Select()method instead of Fork. Will your technique work with my scenario?

Yes, you only need to store the data for each connection seperately, regardless of how you maintain the communication itself.

Hi experts,<br />
I've a simple client and server in C on unix platform. The server displays the date in 'mm/dd/yy' OR 'dd/mm/yy' format depending upon the requested format by client.<br />
It's running absolutly fine, but it's for single client. Now, I'm trying to implement it for multiple clients using select(), it's going fine, but is it possible for server to remember the choice for every client?<br />
I mean can the server remember which client requests date in which format?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
