Server-in-C

An implementation of some servers in C

Overview

This project demonstrates a basic TCP server that listens for incoming connections, handles communication with clients, and processes data.

Features

Listen for connections on a specified port. Accept multiple client connections. Handle data exchange with clients. Basic error handling.

Getting Started

Requirements

C compiler (e.g., gcc) Basic understanding of networking and C programming

Build and Run

Compile the server:

gcc -o tcp_server tcp_server.c

Run the server:

./tcp_server

The server will start listening on localhost at port 12345. You can change the port in the source code if needed.

Usage

Connect to the server using a TCP client or tool (e.g., telnet). The server will echo back any data received from clients.
