C Client Socket Program Example

The document provides a C program for a client socket that connects to a server on localhost at port 8080. It prompts the user to input a bit stream of 0s and 1s, sends it to the server, and then reads and displays the response. The program includes error handling for socket creation, address conversion, and connection failures.
