Socket Programming

The document provides an overview of socket programming, explaining the concepts of client and server sockets, network communication, and the role of port numbers. It outlines essential methods from the Python socket module for creating and managing socket connections, along with example programs for obtaining an IP address, sending messages, and implementing a chat application. The examples illustrate both server and client implementations for practical understanding.

Socket Programming
Socket Programming:
Socket programming is a way of connecting two computers on a network to
communicate with each other.

Network:
A set of co operative interconnected computers is called as network.
Sockets make the transfer of information possible between two different
programs or devices.

Client Socket:
A client socket is a connection end at client side.

Server Socket:
A server socket is a connection end at server side.

Port Number:
It is used to identify the service over network or internet. Port numbers range is 0
to 65535.
Reserved port numbers range is 0 to 1023 whereas free port numbers range is
1024 to 65535.

To achieve socket programming in python, we need the following


methods of socket module.
1) socket() => Used to create sockets at both client side and server side.
2) accept() => Used to accept the connection. It returns socket object and
address.
3) bind() => Used to bind the address and port number.
4) close() => Used to close the socket.
5) listen() => Used to enable the server to listen connections.
6) gethostname() => Used to get the host name.

7) send() => Used to send the information.


8) recv() => Used to receive the information.
9) connect() => Used to establish a connection.

Examples:

1) Program to get the ip address of the system:

import socket
ip=[Link]("[Link]")
print(ip)

2) Program to send the request to convert the given string into


capital letters to server:

Server Program:
from socket import *
s=socket()
[Link](("localhost",2000))
[Link](1)
c,add=[Link]()
msg1=[Link](1000)
msg2=[Link]("utf-8")
msg3=[Link]()
msg4=[Link]("utf-8")
[Link](msg4)
[Link]()

Client Program:
from socket import *
s=socket()
[Link](("localhost", 2000))
msg1=input("Enter any message in lower case letters: ")
msg2=[Link]("utf-8")

[Link](msg2)
msg3=[Link](1000)
msg4=[Link]("utf-8")
print("From Server: ", msg4)
[Link]()

3) Program to demonstrate chatting program:

Server Program:
from socket import *
s=socket()
[Link](("localhost",2000))
[Link](1)
c,add=[Link]()
while True:
msg1=[Link](1000)
msg2=[Link]("utf-8")
print(“From Client: “, msg2)
msg3=input(“To Client: “)
msg4=[Link](“utf-8”)
[Link](msg4)

Client Program:
from socket import *
s=socket()
[Link](("localhost", 2000))
while True:
msg1=input("To Server: ")
msg2=[Link]("utf-8")
[Link](msg2)
msg3=[Link](1000)
msg4=[Link]("utf-8")
print("From Server: ", msg4)
