I want to learn more about TCP functions and how it is relaible
protocol.
So I thought the best way to do that is to look at a code that
implements
reliable file transfer over the unreliable transport such as UDP.
Though Im comfortable with C language I need source code that
implements
TCP functionalaties using UDP socket If anyone knows.
thanks in advance.

The easiest would perhaps be to read the RFCs ?
Or for a great overview, get the "TCP Illustrated" vol1&2 books.

They usually don't implement the more complex parts of tcp, e.g.
congestion avoidance, or segmentation of the application protocol.

Find some TFTP implementations, they're small and easy to understand
usually.

Why do you need this?

If you need TCP functionality, why not use TCP sockets?

Read the first line of his message, he's trying to learn how it works,
not just use it.
