Project Overview

This project demonstrates examples of blocking and non-blocking (NIO) server-client connections.

In the connection package, you will find the implementation of both blocking and non-blocking servers and clients.

Here is an overview of the key files in the project:

Running the Project

You have two options to run the project:

1. Using Scripts: The scripts are located in the scripts folder (outside the src folder).
2. Running Main Files Directly: If you choose to run the main files directly, ensure to run them in the following order to maintain proper execution flow:
   1. Server
   2. Initiator
   3. Other Player

Using Scripts

You can run the project examples using the following scripts inside the scripts folder:

• Blocking Example:

  /bin/bash blocking-example.sh 

• Blocking Example with Different PIDs:

  /bin/bash blocking-example-different-pids.sh

• Non-Blocking Example:

  /bin/bash non-blocking-example.sh

• Non-Blocking Example with Different PIDs:

  /bin/bash non-blocking-example-different-pids.sh

Notes

• Blocking Example: Demonstrates a server and clients using blocking I/O operations.
• Non-Blocking Example: Demonstrates a server and clients using non-blocking I/O operations (NIO).
• Different PIDs: Running scripts with different PIDs ensures that the server and clients run in separate processes.
