Internet is ruled by solid standards protocols that allow connected computers to interact with each other.
this project is about a chat server implemented in C++ , I used irssi as a client server to test it .
•••••• Usage •••••• :
run the makefile to compile the source code to an executable using this commande :
make
then run the executable with two parameters:
./ircserv <port> <password>
• port: The port number on which your IRC server will be listening to for incoming IRC connections.
• password: The connection password. It will be needed by any IRC client that tries to connect to your server.
•••••• features •••••• :
• The server is be capable of handling multiple clients at the same time and never hang.
• compatibility with client-server irssi
• Communication between client and server has is done via TCP/IP (v4 or v6).
◦ You are able to authenticate, set a nickname, a username, join a channel, send and receive private messages using your reference client.
◦ All the messages sent from one client to a channel are forwarded to every other client that joined the channel.
◦ channel operators for channel admins:
∗ KICK - Eject a client from the channel
