Sockets

Quick question, what's the purpose of binding a socket?  I'm taking a final today, and the other functions make sense to me, but I'm having a hard time understanding Bind.

Socket()
Bind()
Listen()
Accept()
|
|
V
read()
|
write()

Nevermind, found out.  It's to assign an address to the socket.  I'm not used to the text board; else I'd just delete these posts.

So, this thread was a waste. What should we do with it?

Tell him to use send() and recv() instead of plain read() and write()?

Use raw sockets. For TCP syn floods. Your school/university will love you.
