TO USE: Have at least two terminal tabs open. Run ./server on one first, then run ./client1 from the other terminal. Enter commands from client terminal. The help command lists usable commands. The server receives the input from client, parses it (sometimes via regex capture groups), and then sends a response back. Can have multiple client connections to the server if you open more terminal tabs and run ./client1. The server process will fork to handle each new connection.

Sometimes after exiting, the new connection will fail; wait a couple seconds before re-running programs to ensure that the connection works.

To compile the the server.c program, run

gcc server.c serv_functions.c -o server

Cool Features:

• Custom C header file to import my serv_functions.c library into the server.c file
• Server stores commands in a "command map." It's technically a list of Command structs, not a map, but the idea is that the command struct maps the command name string to its corresponding execute command function, in a function pointer
• Server can fork to handle multiple client connections at once. Server logs printed out to the terminal window with the server process.
