How to enumerate bound UDP / TCP sockets on Windows in C

Question

Assuming that you do not have access to the SOCKET handlers.

Answer 1

Use either GetUdpTable or GetTcpTable functions.

Example code for GetTcpTable below (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366026%28VS.85%29.aspx)

// Need to link with Iphlpapi.lib and Ws2_32.lib
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <iphlpapi.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "iphlpapi.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib")

#define MALLOC(x) HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, (x))
#define FREE(x) HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, (x))

/* Note: could also use malloc() and free() */

int main()
{

    // Declare and initialize variables
    PMIB_TCPTABLE pTcpTable;
    DWORD dwSize = 0;
    DWORD dwRetVal = 0;

    char szLocalAddr[128];
    char szRemoteAddr[128];

    struct in_addr IpAddr;

    int i;

    pTcpTable = (MIB_TCPTABLE *) MALLOC(sizeof (MIB_TCPTABLE));
    if (pTcpTable == NULL) {
        printf("Error allocating memory\n");
        return 1;
    }

    dwSize = sizeof (MIB_TCPTABLE);
// Make an initial call to GetTcpTable to
// get the necessary size into the dwSize variable
    if ((dwRetVal = GetTcpTable(pTcpTable, &dwSize, TRUE)) ==
        ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) {
        FREE(pTcpTable);
        pTcpTable = (MIB_TCPTABLE *) MALLOC(dwSize);
        if (pTcpTable == NULL) {
            printf("Error allocating memory\n");
            return 1;
        }
    }
// Make a second call to GetTcpTable to get
// the actual data we require
    if ((dwRetVal = GetTcpTable(pTcpTable, &dwSize, TRUE)) == NO_ERROR) {
        printf("\tNumber of entries: %d\n", (int) pTcpTable->dwNumEntries);
