Hi Michael, the system calls you'll need for networking socket programming and pthreads are POSIX compliant on both linux and freebsd. Thus, you'll be able to port your programs between the two systems. I suggest to refer to the POSIX pages on threads: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_09.html and sockets: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_10.html and to read the wonderful Beej's guite to network programming: http://www.beej.us/guide/bgnet/ >> Thanks in advance, I hope this helps, >> Michael -- Pietro Cerutti PGP Public Key: http://gahr.ch/pgp [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGrnEqwMJqmJVx944RCjIeAJ9xXNvNUCNbS58zz0OvDa9NBF+1lQCdFCIe JT4z9dezOpsWpE0YkRquHoU= =NDVu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
