How do I get sender's UDP port in C?

问题

I have the following typical code in C under Linux to get UDP data:

sock = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
mysock.sin_family = AF_INET;
mysock.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
mysock.sin_port = my_port;
bind(sock, &mysock, sizeof(mysock);
recvfrom(sock, buf, PKTSZ, 0, &client, len);

All the above code works, but now I have a need to find out the sender's udp port, is there a structure or system call I can use to retrieve such info when I receive a udp packet ?

thanks

回答1:

recvfrom(sock, buf, PKTSZ, 0, &client, len);

The senders socket address is stored in the client variable of your code. To access the senders port use sockaddr_in instead of sockaddr. Example:

sockaddr_in client;
int len = sizeof(client);
recvfrom(sock, buf, PKTSZ, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&client, (socklen_t *)&len);
int port = ntohs(client.sin_port);

回答2:

recvfrom() is supposed to return that to you in the fifth argument (struct sockaddr*).

EDIT: Use something like this

struct sockaddr_in client;

recvfrom(... (struct sockaddr*)&client ...);

client.sin_port should be the sender's port.

回答3:

UDP sender port would be transient. I don't think you could use that for anything other than for reporting.

回答4:

The fifth argument can be cast to struct sockaddr_in, and there sin_port is the remote port number.

回答5:

Casting the client to sockaddr_in solves my problem.

回答6:

Yes! Remember the ntohs() above all! It wasn't until I used the programmer's calculator that I realized it WAS stored as BigEndian 15B3, not the presumably ephemeral port B315!
