Simple Daytime Server / Client

By iJinjin (Youngjin Jin)

What it does

While the server is running, executing the client will print the local time and time zone.

How to compile

Both the server and the client can be compiled by typing the make command in the terminal.
make clean cleans all object / executable files
make clobber cleans all object / executable files + all unnecessary files created from previous make commands

Things to note

Server should be opened with a port number passed as the argument.

Client should be opened with a valid IP address (IPv4) and port number.

(Execute client and server in separate terminals: terminals such as tmux facilitate this job)

Note that the port number for server and client must match for the connection to work.

ex)

./daytimeserv 1234

ex)

./daytimecli 127.0.0.1 1234

The server should return the local time and the time zone to the client.

Example of execution:

terminal$ ./daytimecli 127.0.0.1 1234
Date: Fri Apr 13 17:18:22 2018 KST
terminal$ (client exits)
