UDP server/client in C - sendto error: Address family not supported by protocol

Question

我正在编写一个简单的说明性 UDP 服务器客户端。服务器应根据客户端输入计算客户端的网络字节顺序，并将其发送回客户端。我一整天都在尝试修复此错误。任何帮助将不胜感激。这是服务器启动和输出：

./udpserver.out 4545
from.sin_family: 12079
Little Endian

ERROR UDP_SRV_004 - can not send message to client: Address family not supported by protocol

客户端启动：

./udpclient.out localhost 4545

服务器代码：

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#define BUFFER_SIZE 80

static void error(char *msg){
    perror(msg);
    exit(1);
}


int main(int argc, char ** argv){

    int socketfd, portno, fromlen, n, length;
    struct sockaddr_in server, from;
    char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
    char response[BUFFER_SIZE];
    const char *le = "Little Endian\n";
    const char *be = "Big Endian\n";
    const char *unk = "Unknown \n";
    int cli_family;

    if(argc!=2){
        fprintf(stderr,"Error starting the client, please start server as: %s port\n", argv[0]);
        exit(0);
    }

    if((socketfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0))<0)
        error("ERROR UDP_SRV_001 - can not create socket");

    if(bind(socketfd,(struct sockaddr *)&server,sizeof(server))<0)
        error("ERROR UDP_SRV_002 - can not bind server address to a socket file descriptor");

    bzero(buffer, BUFFER_SIZE);
    bzero(response,BUFFER_SIZE);

    if (n<0)
        error("ERROR UDP_SRV_003 - can not receive client's message");

    cli_family=from.sin_family;
    printf("from.sin_family: %d\n", cli_family); 

    if (buffer[0] == 1 && buffer[1] == 2)
        strcpy(response, be);
    else if (buffer[0] == 2 && buffer[1] == 1)
        strcpy(response, le);
    else
        strcpy(response, unk);

    length=strlen(response);

在服务器中，您未能在调用 sendto 之前初始化 fromlen。因此，from 未填充。

来自man page：

If src_addr is not NULL, and the underlying protocol provides the source address, this source address is filled in. When src_addr is NULL, nothing is filled in; in this case, addrlen is not used, and should also be NULL. The argument addrlen is a value-result argument, which the caller should initialize before the call to the size of the buffer associated with src_addr, and modified on return to indicate the actual size of the source address. The returned address is truncated if the buffer provided is too small; in this case, addrlen will return a value greater than was supplied to the call.

recvfrom 函数试图读取 fromlen 的值，但由于它未初始化，您调用了 undefined behavior。

初始化 fromlen 即可解决问题。

fromlen = sizeof from;
n=recvfrom(socketfd,buffer,BUFFER_SIZE-1,0,(struct sockaddr *)&from,&fromlen);
