通过套接字发送结构

Question

我对使用套接字非常陌生，到目前为止，只能通过套接字发送char [] 。

现在，尽管如此，我正在尝试通过套接字发送struct ，并且不确定如何执行此操作。 我有以下struct

struct student_rec {
    char name[25];
    float gpa;
    int pid;
};

我在其中初始化了以下内容

struct student_rec stu

strcpy(stu.name, "Mike McDonald");
stu.gpa = 2.5;
stu.pid = 0x12345678;

我可以stu.name发送stu.name ，但是不确定发送struct时方法sendto()使用哪些参数。

  struct sockaddr_in local, remote;
  int sk,rlen=sizeof(remote),len=sizeof(local);
  char buf[BUFMAX];

  /* Create an Internet domain datagram socket from which to read */
  sk = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);

  struct student_rec stu;

  strcpy(stu.name, "Mike McDonald");
  stu.gpa = 2.5;
  stu.pid = 0x12345678;

  local.sin_family = AF_INET; /* Define the socket domain */
  local.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; /* Wildcard mach. addr */
  local.sin_port = 0; /* Let the system assign a port */
  bind(sk,&local,sizeof(local)); 

  getsockname(sk,&local,&len); /* Get the port number assigned */
  printf("socket has port %d\n",htons(local.sin_port)); /* Publish the number */


  /* Read from the socket */
  recvfrom(sk,buf,BUFMAX,0,&remote,&rlen);
  printf("%s\n",buf);
  sendto(sk,stu.name,strlen(stu.name)+1,0,&remote,sizeof(remote)); 

  close(sk);
}

我想把strlen(stu.name)替换为什么变得很困惑，因为我现在要发送整个struct 。

我可以使用for循环读取struct每个元素，还是可以将某些参数传递给sendto()来执行此操作？

您应该将struct序列化为xml，json，文本或类似格式，并在另一端读回为：

/* Tx */
struct student_rec s = {...};
char txt[100];
const int len = sprintf(txt, "%d,%f,%s", s.pid, s.gpa, s.name);
send_txt(txt);

/* Rx */
char txt[100];
recv_txt(txt);
struct student_rec s
sscanf(txt, "%d,%f,%s", &s.pid, &s.gpa, s.name);
