Mcreceive C

This C code defines constants and structures needed for multicast socket programming. It validates command line arguments for the multicast IP address and port number. It then creates a socket, joins the multicast group, receives data on the socket, and leaves the multicast group before closing the socket. The main purpose is to receive multicast datagrams sent to the specified IP and port.
