How to create multiple clients and use select?
 

Hi,

This is a broad extension to my earlier postI have a server code to handle multiple clients.The server is launching a thread after an accept() .I am creating client connections in a for loop.My aim is to test how many client connections a server can handle.I am storing all the socket fds of client in an array.Finally I am launching only one client reader thread to read server messages.I am trying to use a select() here to check if any client socket received message from the server.But I am unable to assign ALL the socket descriptors to fd-set so that I can do a select.Only the first one is getting assigned.I am stuck here.Is there any link/tested code to do similar task.The purpose is to write a client program to simulate multiple clients using 'C' langauge.

Sorry for lack of clarity.My expression of technical problem is very poor.

Give a generous feedback.

Thansk & regards,
Ramakrishna
