A simple (and cheezy) multi-client chat server made purely in C
- Supports multiple clients at once.
- Nickname feature for each client.
- Works like a chat room (notifies when someone joins / leaves )
- Allows the host (server) to participate.
- Clone the repository and
cd
to it. - Compile and make an executable by
gcc -o server.out server.c
- Start the server by running the executable.
The format is
./server.out [Port]
where[Port]
is the port number you want to listen on. - Connect to the server using
netcat
ortelnet
