How do I handle errors in C++ socket programming?

In C++ socket programming, you can handle errors by checking the return values of socket functions and using errno.

Can you give me an example of error handling in a socket connection?

Sure! When you call connect(), check if it returns -1. If it does, you can use perror() to print the error.

What are some common errors I should look out for?

Common errors include connection timeouts, address not available, and permission denied. Always check the error codes.

Is there a way to implement a retry mechanism?

Yes, you can implement a loop that retries the connection a certain number of times before giving up.
