taronyu / epoll-server

A sample epoll server implementation.

epoll-server

A sample (and simple) epoll TCP server implementation written in C. This is not intended to be an example of a production-ready high performance server.

By the way, this is my first GitHub project so please have mercy.

Compiling

A simple Makefile is included. If you have gcc installed, just run the supplied Makefile:

cd path/to/epoll-server
make

Specify DEBUG=1 to use the debug configuration, see Makefile for details.

Usage

The binary will be located inside the build directory. Passing the argument -h prints the integrated help text. If no argument is given, the server will be started on port 5033. Once the server is started, you can use a tool like nc to open a connection and send data to the server. Note that the server doesn't process any received data or sends a reply to the clients. Maybe I'll add some simple message processing in a future version.
