where is a error in this codes.

On linux This is a example source code from "TCP/IP Sockets in C"

//I think here use "addr" replacement of "servAddr"
//modify: servSock = socket(addr->ai_family, addr->ai_sockyped, addr->ai_protocol) is right ?

if (servSock < 0)
continue; // Socket creation failed; try next address

// Bind to the local address and set socket to list
if ((bind(servSock, servAddr->ai_addr, servAddr->ai_addrlen) == 0) &&

The for() loop Effect is find a success addrinfo structur form list.
The "addr" not useed.
Do you understand my meaning?

It looks like you're trying to get a Linux question answered in a Windows

^_^haha, The question was a Platform-independent. Do you know address
for Linux newsgroup?
