[libvirt-users] Retrieving datas sent by host within the Guest

Hi,
The guest is waiting a connect from the host and then tries to read what has been sent by the host.
Both Guest and Host codes look like that :
main()
{
int sock, msgsock, rval;
struct sockaddr_un server;
char buf[1024];
sock = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (sock < 0) {
perror("opening stream socket");
exit(1);
}
server.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
strcpy(server.sun_path, NAME);
if (bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &server, sizeof(struct sockaddr_un))) {
perror("binding stream socket");
exit(1);
}
printf("Socket has name %s\n", server.sun_path);
listen(sock, 5);
for (;;) {
msgsock = accept(sock, 0, 0);
if (msgsock == -1)
perror("accept");
else do {
bzero(buf, sizeof(buf));
if ((rval = read(msgsock, buf, 1024)) < 0)
on the host side :
main(argc, argv)
....
sock = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_NONBLOCK, 0);
if (sock < 0) {
perror("opening stream socket");
return(1);
}
server.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
strcpy(server.sun_path, argv[1]);
if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &server, sizeof(struct sockaddr_un)) < 0) {
close(sock);
perror("connecting stream socket");
return(1);
}
if (write(sock, buffer, strlen(buffer)) < 0)
perror("writing on stream socket");
Even if the host is not opening or sending anything I got this "already in use" error message.
Regards,
J.P.

shouldn't you conect() instead of bind() ? Of course, open() should write as well.
