I am working on an application over fedora using c language and sockets (TCP). I have to send a structure which contains a pointer to another strcuture. Now what happens is that when the primary structure (containing the pointer) gets sent, instead of the secondary structure (pointed to) being sent, only its pointer get sent. This is quite normal and obvious as the original strucutre, contains the pointer as a data member, and does not contain as a member the structure being pointed to. I am using send and receive for this purpose. How can i manage the send(ing) and receive(ing) of the primary and the secondary structure? [The primary structure contains the control information and the secondary structure contains the data information, and they together form sort of a header and payload]. Thank you,
