Serving more as a testament to my C programming capability--a simple implementation of a chatserver protocol from socket-level up.
confclient.cc contains sample client code and confserver.cc contains
the main server code. Build simply with make, tested with GCC 10.2.0.
P.S.: I realize the extension .cc is standardly for C++ commands, and that the Makefile invokes g++, but that's to be disregarded.
