Normally we use socket to send msg from a process to another different process (probably in a different node as well). However, I'm handling an application that tries to use socket to send msg to itself (the same process as the sender.) Does anyone know how to do this? For example, if we use UDP/IP datagram socket and use sendto() call, how do we specify its parameters? If anyone has a simple example to show how it works please let me know. Thanks a lot.
