Hi,

How can I find out if a port is available on linux?
One thing i can do is to open() and then close() a port number.
I wonder if there is a more efficient way?

Thank you.

Run: netstat -atnp|grep LISTEN

It will show you the ports already in use. A quick way to tell if a
tcp port is free is to just 'telnet localhost XXXX' where XXXX is the
port. Connection refused means (usually) nothing is listening there.
