Overview

This repository contains an implementation of a multithreaded TCP server and a TCP client for Linux written in C++11.

This particular version uses the server to calculate the arithmetic mean of numbers received from clients.

Workflow

1. The server starts listening to a specific port.
2. Several clients connect and start sending nonzero int32_t values to the server.
3. When the server receives 0 from a client, it sends back the average of this client's values and closes the connection.
4. When the last of the clients disconnects, the server outputs the average of all clients' values to result.txt and stops.

Building

make and g++ are required.

Build the server and the client:

make

Run a simple test:

make test

Delete the executables and the created text files:

make clean

Running

Start the server:

./server <port>

Start a client and send a sequence of numbers:

./client <host> <port> [<number>...]
