I am working on a socket client, which should:
- connect to a server,
- supply a "return" socket port (similar to ftp)
- continue communication on a second socket
(Everything is on an Intranet. I was told, the firewall is
secure. And my client should run as ordinary user)
Up to now, I could only find rresvport (2) (which returns a port
in the privileged area)
However, I would prefer non-privileged.
Could anyone show me a way to get such a port number?
Thanks in advance!
