Project description

Implementation of both a server and a client that can handle dual protocol communications (ASCII and XDR) via the socket API in C programming language.

The client and the server are non blocking, they support dual stack IPv4/v6 interoperability, and the server supports concurrency.

How to compile

• In the client directory: gcc client.c ../utilities/*.c ../xdr_types/types.c -o client
• In the server directory: gcc server.c ../utilities/*.c ../xdr_types/types.c -o server

How to run

• First run the server: ./server [-x] <server_port>
• and then run a client: ./client [-x] <server_ip> <server_port>

-x option is used to trigger XDR mode. Don't specify any option to run in ASCII mode.
