Project Description

Design a server program that will accept the client connection and check the spelling of the word sent from the client.

Source codes

server.c

It is a program for setting up server checking whether the word sent from client is spelled correctly.
There are 5 customized options:

-d <"path">             : <"path"> is the path for dictionary,
                        By Default,it will be set to DEFAULT_DICTIONARY(serverFile/dictionary.txt)

-p <"port">             : <"port"> is the port NUMBER,
                        By Default,it will be set to DEFAULT_PORT(61323)

-c <"connectionSize">   : <"connectionSize"> is the size of connection buffer,
                        By Default,it will be set to DEFAULT_CONNECTION_SIZE(20)

-w <"workerSize">       : <"workerSize"> is the NUMBER of worker threads that server will hold,
                        By Default,it will be set to DEFAULT_WORKTHREAD_SIZE(5)

-s <"scheduleType">     : <"scheduleType"> is the flag about how server would select client when there are multiple client waiting
                           if flag is set to 1, server is operating with priority mode, selecting client for the highest priority
                           if flag is set to 0, server is operating with sequential mode, selecting client for the earliest arriving
                        By Default,it will be set to priority mode(1)

client.c

It is a program for setting up the client sending word to server
when calling as ./client <"NUM">, client will use "clientFile/in<"NUM">.txt" as input file , "clientFile/out<"NUM">.txt" as output file.
when calling as ./client exit, client will send a message to the server asking the server to terminate.

threadFn.c

A sourceFile containing implementation of all threads functions and thread data structure

workThreadFn()

Worker thread functions - process the word sent from the client:

get the connection from connectionBuffer according to priority or sequential mode,
checking the client-sent word's spelling according to dictionary,
echo each result back to client
store the log to logQueue with arrival time, completion time and priority

serverThreadCFn()

Server main thread function - accepting the client connection:

prepare the server socket and bind it as the listen socket
(loop starts)
once accept the connection from client, it will record the arrival time and generate a random priotity
Then store all the information with the connection to connectionBuffer
(loop ends)

serverThreadLogFn()

Server secondary thread funcion - output log from logQueue to OutPut file

connectionBuffer.c

A sourceFile containing implementation of connectionBuffer

dictionary.c

Simple source file containing the data structure to store dictionary

logQueue.c

A sourceFile containing implementation of logQueue

Compile/Executing

  • Complie
    $make server
    $make client
  • Execute
    $./server -option optionArg ... (./server -p 80 ...)
    $./client NUM/exit (./client 1 OR ./client exit)

Test plan with sample data

First call $./server to set up the server
Then call $./client 1 & ./client 1 & ./client 1 to establish the connection
Lastly, call $./client exit to terminate the server
You will be able to see the executing result stored in src/serverFile/log.txt

Then change the server scheduling mode by calling $./server -s 0 and use the same codes to test. You will be able to see the executing result stored in src/serverFile/log.txt
