simpleServer

Very simple stream server based on Beej's Guide to Network Programming stream server code.

Getting started

Prerequisites

You need cmake 3.1 or higher and a compiler that supports C++14. Tested with g++ 5.4, 5.5 and 7.2.1.

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/AlpineCoder/simpleServer
$ cd simpleServer
$ cmake .
$ make

Running it

$ ./simpleServer <-p port_number> [-v 4|6]

You can connect to it using telnet. For example if the server is listening on port 1234:

$ telnet ::1 1234
Trying ::1...
Connected to ::1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Hello, world!
Connection to ::1 closed by foreign host.

To stop the server, just use ctrl-c.
