from the main code i call a function to start a server on a port X,  already this server started , i back to main fucntion, make some calculus and after that i have to write some data through the socket, so i call a writing fuction, but to this fuction i have to pass to it the data i want transmit and something to indicate it what&#39;s the socket i&#39;m using. I&#39;m not an expert in programming so i dont know if this is the best way to do it. I just want to access to the variable socket from anywhere.<br>

<div class="im">&gt; hi for the fast answer, i have other question respect to this, what about if<br>
&gt; i wanna a function return the socket descriptor value? what must be the type of value retuned? an int value?<br>
<br>
</div>You mean the low-level socket descriptor, which can be used in recv/send etc.?<br>
<br>
asio::ip::tcp::socket::native_type<br>
socketDescriptor(asio::ip::tcp::socket &amp;socket)<br>
{<br>
  return socket.native();<br>
