⟩ Socket Programming in C using TCP with Code?
To compile :
* linux : gcc -Wall -o foo foo.c
* solaris :gcc -Wall -o foo foo.c -lsocket -lnsl
1. TCP
* TCP server : simple TCP server
that prints received messages.
source : tcpServer.c
usage : ./tcpServer
* TCP client : simple TCP client
that sends data to server.
source : tcpClient.c
usage :./tcpClient server data1...dataN
