Typecasting struct to a char array

[ashlekha]

Hi,

I am doing socket programming

I am receiving my payload message in a structure.
now to encapsulate it i have to convert it into a buffer.
Buffer is nothing but a charcter pointer array.

Can anyone help me out with syntax of the above typecasting i.e from struct to buffer.

I will be gratefull for your response.

Thank You.

Just cast the address of your struct to a char* and write sizeof(your_str uct) bytes
through the socet:

char* buf= (char*)&your_struct);
fwrite(buf, sizeof(your_struct), 1, socket_stream);

kind regards,

Jos
