You skipped over some important lot of details.  What version of gpsd?  What is
the source for "udp://127.0.0.1:8080"

version: 3.24.1 

source : created client application which write raw NEMA packet at  127.0.0.1:8080

How?  What sort of data?

1083 NEMA string ,there is some utility which generates sample data.

Getting way ahead of yourself.  Don't bother to touch libgps until
 the "-D 4" log from gpsd looks good.  Then move on to cgps, befoure
looking at libgps.

ok

Way too small a snippet.  Also, never use strlen(), use strnlen()
instead.

Way to small a snippet, and very premature.  Look at the -D4" first,
then cgps, then libgps.

Might work, can;t tell without working code.  No ouput that ever says
you got data...

Your C code asks for JSON, but you compare to psuedo NMEA.  Apples and
oranges.

- I was checking the gpspipe client  and my client application. gpspipe client

was getting data (in both options -w  -r) ,my client application got timeout.
