CreateSocket : This api is recieving data from the client continuously. I called recvfrom api inside the while loop within the CreateSocket function (which is not shown in the above code). I am calling the checkTasks within the while loop in main function. It is checking for the counter and calling the makeTimer () function call : This function definition is for creating a timer and call the task for every 2ms , 10ms and 100ms by signal.
my Question : once calling a init function in the main() : will it be recieving the data from the client and will in the background the checkTasks will be keep on running ?? Is it right ??
