To become a server (i.e. wait for a connection from a client), use the routine <B>bnet_thread_server</B>. The calling sequence is a bit complicated, please refer to the code in bnet_server.c and the code at the beginning of each daemon as examples of how to call it. <P> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> 2012-01-24 </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
