[DES-2] Description of Files
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a listing of all files associated with Recitation 1 and what their'
purpose is:
.../README - Current document
.../src/echo_client.c - Simple echo network client
.../src/echo_server.c - Simple echo network server
.../src/Makefile - Contains rules for make
.../src/cp1_checker.py - Python test script for CP1
[RUN-3] How to Run
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building and executing the echo code should be very simple:
cd src
make
./echo_server
./echo_client localhost 9999
This should allow you to input characters on stdin which will be sent to the
echo server. The echo server has a hard-coded serving port of 9999. Any input
characters to stdin will be flushed to the server on return, and any bytes
received from the server will appear on stdout.
In addition, a telnet client may also be used in a similar fashion for
communicating with the server:
cd src
make
./echo_server
telnet localhost 9999
The test Python script takes a series of arguments and can be run as:
cd src
make
./echo_server
./cp1_checker 127.0.0.1 9999 1000 10 2048 500
with arguments as such:
<ip> <port> <# trials> <# writes and reads per trial> \
<max # bytes to write at a time> <# connections>
