Question

It’s code from client part (using )

   struct sockaddr_in stSockAddr;
   int Res;
   int SocketFD;
   SocketFD = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
   if (-1 == SocketFD)
   {
      perror("cannot create socket");
      exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
   }

    memset(&stSockAddr, 0, sizeof(stSockAddr));

    stSockAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
    stSockAddr.sin_port = htons(8182);
    Res = inet_pton(AF_INET, "127.0.0.1", &stSockAddr.sin_addr);    

And I get responce from server using

   char buffer[4096] = "";
   n = read(aSocketFD, buffer, 4096);  

My questin is:
Can I get responce like std::basic_filebuf? Or can I get responce to FILE *?
Socket is a file handler, so I can do it, but how?

For C code, you can use a descriptor like FILE* calling fdopen(): associates a stream with a file descriptor (POSIX.1 standard).
