Socket operation on nonsocket

I'm trying to receive data on a socket, and it keeps giving me this error, it's an irc bot, my code:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

   char *p2 = p1;
   while (*p2 && *p2 == c)
    ++p2;

   if (*p2) {
    *p1 = *p2;
    *p2 = c;
   } else {
    *p1 = '\0';
    break;
   }
  }
 }
}

quick observation, it's not a good idea to reuse _tmp like you have done. (create a _tmp[512] and snprintf your values into it)

1.- In the function recv_socket you are going to receive only 4 bytes (or maybe 8 bytes if you are compiling a 64bits code), because you are using sizeof and not the size of the buffer. 2.- What error are you getting ?.
