Well it's actually a project for a company that needs a tcp listener for the data sent by the devices. You are right about my question. It's a bit irrelevant with gentoo but I'm working on gentoo and I'm asking this list because I consider its users have wide knowledge on general programming. In fact I got a good suggestion and I believe my search is done. Thank you anyway.

It's worded like one, and it's your first post to this list I can find.
Google the topic "do my homework for me".

There's always a chance it's a genuine question though. If so, you are
unlikely to get decent answers here, this is a user-based support list
for users of Gentoo. Your question is better directed to forums that
deal with C programming as their core topic.
