This directory contains groups of client and server test programs that
exercise the various C++ wrappers for sockets.  In general, the test
programs do more or less the same thing -- they transfer data from
client to the server.  Unless noted differently, the server is
implemented as an "iterative server," i.e., it only deals with one
client at a time.  The following describes each set of tests in more
detail:

	. C-inclient.cpp/C-inserver.cpp -- This is basically a C code
	  implementation that opens a connection to the server and
	  sends all the data from the stdin using Internet domain
	  sockets (i.e., TCP).

	. CPP-inclient.cpp/CPP-server.cpp -- This test is basically
	  a C++ wrapper version of the preceeding "C" test using
	  Internet domain sockets (i.e., TCP).

	. CPP-unclient.cpp/CPP-unserver.cpp -- This test is basically
	  a C++ wrapper version of the preceeding "C++" test using
	  UNIX domain sockets.

	. FD-unclient.cpp/FD-inclient.cpp -- This test illustrates
	  how to pass file descriptors between two processes on the
	  same machine using the ACE C++ wrappers for UNIX domain
	  sockets.

	. CPP-inserver-poll.cpp -- This test illustrates how to
	  write single-threaded concurrent servers using UNIX SVR4
	  poll().  You can run this test using the CPP-inclient.cpp
	  program as the client.

For examples of the ACE SOCK_{Dgram,CODgram} and
SOCK_Dgram_{Mcast,Bcast} wrappers, please take a look in the
./examples/Reactor/{Dgram,Multicast,Ntalker} directories.
