Hi, I am new to socket programming. There are two programs(client on target machine, server on host machine ) , communicating through a single socket. Server program writes data of (say) 100bytes, 200 bytes, 500 bytes and 1000bytes, suceessively calling write() 4 times. My question is on client side, if I call read() 4 times, will get 100bytes, 200bytes, 500bytes and 1000bytes of data successively and ALWAYS? Or is it possible that with a single read() I may get all 100+200+500+1000bytes of data??? Where can I find more information about these read() and write() functions?
