Socket question - ghostdevelite - Jul 17, 2021
Hi there I just would like to ask what would be the meaning of this line :
if(s.connect_ex((ip,int(ports)))==0):
Thanks for your insights.
RE: Socket question - 3phase - Jul 18, 2021
socket.connect_ex(address) -> return an error indicator instead of raising an exception for errors returned by the C-level connect() call (other problems, such as “host not found,” can still raise exceptions).
The error indicator is 0 if the operation succeeded,
which in your case that's literally means "if the connection succeeds".
