Chapter 12, Problem 12.27HW

Some network programming texts suggest the following approach for reading and writing sockets: Before interacting with the client, open two standard I/O streams on the same open connected socket descriptor, one for reading and one for writing:

FILE *fpin, *fpout;

fpin = fdopen(sockfd, "r");

fpout = fdopen(sockfd, "w”);

When the server finishes interacting with the client, close both streams as follows:

fclose(fpin);

fclose(fpout);

  However, if you try this approach in a concurrent server based on threads, you will create a deadly race condition. Explain.

Using client-server socket programming, implement a multi-threaded server that returns to the client the synonym of a word as stored in a dictionary. The client should prompt the user for a word, reads the word from the screen and sends it to the server and waits for response from the server. Once the client gets the synonym of the word, it should print the word and its synonym on the screen and prompt for another word. This should continue until the user enters the characters @ to quit. Example: >>> python TCPClient.py Input a word: weak weak ==> frail Input a word: fair fair ==> just Input a word: @ Notes: 1) A file that contains some words and their synonyms is provided 2) In the server code, read the file to a global python dictionary object engDict = {} # empty dictionary object with open('dictionary.txt') as f: # open the file for line in f: tok = line.split() engDict[tok[0]] = tok[1] print(engDict) 3) Here is a Skelton of the server [some code here ] class…
A connected instance of Socket contains an InputStream and OutputStream that can be used just like any other Java I/O or C# stream Select one: O True O False
IN C language Write a socket server/client program such that The client sends to the server 2 integer numbers L and S and the server finds the difference between them and send the result of the subtraction (L-S) back to the client to display it in the terminal window.
