C - socket programmation: test listen backlog

I'm trying to test the listen backlog limits. I am collecting informations about this for some days, I know the backlog number provide to listen() is just a hint. But now I'm trying to create a server and a client (using TCP) to test the limit of the backlog.

On my server I use connect(), bind() and listen() and then sleep() for a long time. On my client I use a loop which create the fdsock and use connect().

The server isn't accepting anything so I think that the connections goes to the backlog queue but the programm never stop, even after having crated more than 1000 sockfd.

Is there a way to test the backlog queue maximum limit ?

Thanks by advance.

EDIT:

#include "sys.h"

char *answer(char *port, int (*fun)(int)){
    struct addrinfo * info, * p, indices;
    struct sockaddr fromaddr;
    int fd, t, toclient;
    unsigned int len = sizeof fromaddr;

    memset(&indices, 0, sizeof indices);
    indices.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE;
    indices.ai_family = AF_INET;
    indices.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

    t = getaddrinfo(0, port, &indices, &info);
    if(t != 0)
    {
        return "answer: cannot get info on port";
    }

    for(p = info; p != 0; p = p->ai_next)
    {
        fd = socket(p->ai_family, p->ai_socktype, 0); // fabriquer la socket
        if(fd >= 0)
        {
            break;
        }
    }
    if(p == 0)
    {
        return "answer: cannot open socket";
    }

    t = 1;
    t = setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &t, sizeof t);
    if(t < 0)
    {
        perror("setsockopt");
    }

    if(bind(fd, p->ai_addr, p->ai_addrlen) < 0)
    {
        close(fd);
        return "answer: cannot bind socket";
    }
    freeaddrinfo(info);

    t = listen(fd, 1);
    if(t < 0)
    {
        close(fd);
        return "answer: cannot listen on socket";
    }

    for(;;)
    {
        toclient = accept(fd, &fromaddr, &len);

        sleep(600);

        if(toclient < 0)
        {
            return "answer: cannot accept\n";
        }

        t = fork();
        if(t < 0)        // error
        {
            perror("fork");
            continue;
        }
        else if(t != 0)    // parent
        {
            close(toclient);
        }
        else             // child
        {
            close(fd);
            fun(toclient);
            exit(0);
        }
    }
}

int foo(int n){
    char c;
    int t;

    printf("I have a new client\n");
    while((t = read(n, &c, 1)) > 0)
    {
        if(write(n, &c, 1) != 1)
        {
            perror("write");
            break;
        }
    }

    if(t < 0)
    {
        perror("read");
    }

    printf("I don't have that client anymore\n");
    return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
    char *p;
    p = answer(argv[1], foo);

    perror(p); 
    return 1;
}

And here is the code for my client:

# include "sys.h"

int dial(char *machine, char *port){
    struct addrinfo *info, *p, indices;
    int toserver, t;

    memset(&indices, 0, sizeof indices);
    indices.ai_family = AF_INET;
    indices.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

    t = getaddrinfo(machine, port, &indices, &info);
    if(t != 0)
    {
        return -1;
    }

    for(p = info; p != 0; p = p->ai_next)
    {
        toserver = socket(p->ai_family, p->ai_socktype, 0);
        if(toserver >= 0)
        {
            break;
        }
    }
    if(p == 0)
    {
        return -1;
    }

    t = connect(toserver, info->ai_addr, info->ai_addrlen);
    if(t < 0)
    {
        freeaddrinfo(info);
        close(toserver);
        return -1;
    }

    freeaddrinfo(info);
    return toserver;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
    char buffer[1];
    int t, fd = dial(argv[1], argv[2]);

    while((t = read(0, buffer, sizeof buffer)) > 0)
    {
        write(fd, buffer, t);
        t = read(fd, buffer, sizeof buffer);
        write(1, buffer, t);
    }

    return 0;
}

I set the backlog length to 1 then I let the server sleep for a long time so I can try to launch some clients but even if I launch hundreds clients they're never rejects.
