A RFC 865 compliant Quote of the Day daemon program

Done

  • get random quote within file
  • tcp server
  • tcp client
  • udp server
  • udp client
  • IPv6 compat

Todo

  • t h r e a d s to accept several clients and/or run both udp and tcp servers from same executable and instance
  • macros (#define XXX yyy) for currently hard-coded values
  • switches (-x) and options (--xxxx) ?
  • logging ?
  • conf files ?

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Arthur-Coppey/qotd
cd qotd
cmake -B build
cd build
make

Use

A "quotes.txt" file in the same folder as the server containing one quote per line. Quotes are separated by the line feed \n character.

Server as root (because port 17)

# ./server
$ ./client
