HI All,

I terminate (ctrl+C) my tcp server when one(or more) of the
client(s) were connected.
And unable to restart again for a long time. The netstat shows the
port is in TIME_WAIT.

How to handle such that even after abrupt shutdown the server should
restart successfully on the same port.

Thanks
Prabu

A setsockopt() with SO_REUSEADDR before you attempt to bind() to the
well-known port number for your server.

The works of W. Richard Stevens and/or Stallings re network
programming would probably be good things to have handy on the shelf.
