Unix数据报套接字正在向自身而不是远程发送消息

Question

I have a unix Datagram sockets opened between two processes running on same machine. However, my client process is sending request to itself instead of server.

I have kept FilePath to which sockets bind different. However, if I keep Filepath same then though client is able to send request to server but server sends response to itself. Please check this link for a question which is related to this question. There is almost full code there.

Not able to exchange message between a pair of unix socket client server to exchange messages randonly

Below is the problematic code snippet at client:

I expect a smooth message exchange between two processes.

Answer 1

You did not include a minimal reproducable exmaple; also it is unclear where datagramSocket comes from in the sender function.

however, to me it seems both sender and receiver use the exact same socket.

what you need to do is use a pair of sockets; that is a socketpair:

Socketpair() in C/Unix
