Description

The task is a demonstration of a TCP/IP server. It waits for clients to connect and then sends a string containing the date and time to them every few seconds.

Examples

ipserver -L log  -pf port.id  -if pid.id

Listen for clients on a port allocated by the operating system. The port number is recorded in the file "port.id", the process identifier is recorded in the file "pid.id", and logs of all transactions are recorded in the file "log.xxx" where xxx is the day of the year.

ipserver -L log  -pf port.id  -if pid.id -lp 5000

Listen for clients on a port 5000. The port number is recorded in the file "port.id", the process identifier is recorded in the file "pid.id", and logs of all transactions are recorded in the file "log.xxx" where xxx is the day of the year.
