How to avoid TIME_WAIT for server sockets?

Question

I know you will mask this as duplicate (question1, question2, question3) but the answers are not what I'm looking for (and I think also other people).
So, I'm refering to socket masters (I love you guys): how can I get bind error(address already in use) if I close the socket?
I will describe my problem.

I've got a client that communicate with a server
In the server, I have two sockets: sockS (the main socket, that listens) and sockTX (the client one)
If I call my programs once, the communication is fine, then I close both sockets
If I recall server and client, I get the error and I've to wait the TIME_WAIT (~3 minutes seconds on Ubuntu 32bit)

Why, after closing both sockets I still get bind error?
There's a way to make it works without any magic (SO_REUSEADDR)?
I know something in my code is wrong...

Thank you everyone.

That's the code:

Thank you everyone

EDIT 1: Possible solution (not very beautiful, but just a bit more than SOCK_REUSEADDR)
Try to add, before shutdown and close of the two server's socket, a sleep(1).
The client will close before the server and it will work
Not very beautiful, I know.

Or, better, before closing the first socket inside the server, you can check if the client closed the connection (like here)

Answer 1

If you follow the TCP state machine diagram, you will see that it is mandatory for the socket to transition to the TIME-WAIT state if the socket initiated sending the FIN. Using shutdown(sockTX, 2) without waiting for the client's FIN does exactly that.

If you want the server to wait for the client's FIN, you block on recv() waiting for a 0 return value first. Then, you can close().

Note that unless you have duplicated the socket in some way (either with dup*() or with a fork() call), there is no need to call shutdown() if it is being immediately followed by a close(). You can just call close() (if the socket has been duplicated, the FIN will only be sent when the last copy is closed).

There is no need to shutdown() the accepting socket (sockS) at all.

So, I would change your server side to look something like the following to clean up the sockets:

while (recv(sockTX,...) > 0) {}
close(sockTX);

close(sockS);
