Server example

This is example code showing how to set up a simple server that listens for incoming connections on port 8765 and writes the data received to stdout.

• src/bin/server.rs contains the code that uses the libc crate to make system calls by calling the C wrapper functions.
• src/bin/simpleserver.rs contains the code that uses the higher-level Rust networking API to perform the same task.

Running the servers

Run $ cargo run --bin server or $ cargo run --bin simpleserver to run the servers. (Only one can be run at a time because they use the same port.)

Connecting to the servers using nc

You can use $ nc 127.0.0.1 8765 in a terminal to make a connection to your server. Anything you type in the terminal window will be printed by the server.
