Problem: I forgot how to do sockets programming, and it seems to be different on Solaris 7 anyway, there is no getaddrinfo
I guess I need to find some 1990s introduction to sockets programming?
@vaporeon_ 
⬅️ does not know socket programming
@wallhackio Has Clodsire ever written a program that talks to the Internet?
@vaporeon_ ⬅️ has written many an asynchronous javascript program
@wallhackio What about C? Or C++?
@vaporeon_ my C and C++ adventures have not led me to talking to the Internet
@wallhackio If you did want to talk to the Internet, you'd need to use something called Berkeley sockets (at least in C, I've no idea whether C++ provides any different interfaces), or call a library that uses those sockets for you...
@vaporeon_ would be a fun project methinks 🔍
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ i have exactly the book fur you
@vaporeon_ I was at one time very good at using C++ to generate histograms
