A TCP stream for sending data from an instance of a client to a server.
The server can be run on any available port and can receive messages from any number of clients. To run a SocketStream server the source code must be pulled and built on the host machine.
The Server is implemented in C and C++ each perform exactly the same and are both built with the same process. To build the server on a host machine run the following command in the server directory make server or to build in C++ run make cppserver. The result of this command will be an executable called "server" within the same directory.
After the executable is built the server can be run using the following command ./server <port>. Make sure to pass the program a valid port when booting it up. To exit the server press any key.
The client should be run on the same port that a running server is on. The client will send the message passed to it and then exit. To use the client as the server it must be built first.
The Client is implemented in C and C++ each perform exactly the same and are both built with the same process. Inside the client directory run make client or make cppclient.
Like the Server the Client takes an argument for the port it should create a connection to. Additionally after the port, the message to be sent to the Server should be provided. `./client
Example: ./server 8080 test
