Winsock API 2

[instar4per]

I'm getting my feet wet in certain aspects of Winsock API. Some of it, I've got down (making a socket, connecting it, recieving data). Other parts, I don't have. If anyone could provide insight to:

-In the 'send' call, there is an argument named flags. What are the values that could go in here to do what things? Is it possible to make a chunk of data be 'OOB' by setting a certain flag?

-Also, I can set up a socket to listen, but how do I have a socket accept? It's pretty useless to have listening sockets if I can't do anything with them .

Any insight on how to do simulate the ConnectionRequest event of the Winsock OCX using API, and the Accept method also using API, even shortcuts and quick&dirties, would be appreciated.

Thanks, guys!

Bryan,

If you're really looking to get into Winsock and don't mind a bit of investment you could do a lot worse that getting a copy of 'Windows Sockets Network Programming' by Bob Quinn & Dave Shute ( ISBN 0-201-63372-8 ). I've found it really useful & sure puts this stuff in perspective.
