- Error handling
The code can be run using the following command:
python3 main.py <port number> After running the code, it initialize
a UDP socket server on the specified port and listens
to the incomming connections which is handled by handle_client
function. This function is running on a thread and is called
asynchronous to the main process. In this regard, you can
interact with the process using commands without need to
wait for incomming connections.
server_running variable is used globally to stop threads
when the process is terminated. clients variable stores
the information of incomming connections and servers stores
UDP servers which the process is connected to.
The core structure is based on running commands on a while loop
to get input from user and perform functionalities and
handling connections in a thread. This architecture ensures
asynchronous connection.
Socket is error-prone and needs error handling in every step.
In this regard, many try and catch are placed both in the
loop and in the functions internally.
