What is C socket programming?

C socket programming is a method of enabling communication between two computers or processes over a network using sockets in the C programming language. Sockets provide an interface for sending and receiving data between systems, commonly used in client-server applications. By using functions from libraries such as and , programmers can create both TCP and UDP connections. C socket programming is widely used in networked applications, such as web servers and chat clients, due to its efficiency and control over network communication.
