Function Documentation

◆ handleRequest()

void handleRequest ( FILE *  rx,
FILE *  tx 
)

Handles requests coming from a client.

This function does the actual work of communicating with the client. It should be called from the connection-handling module.

Parameters
rxClient-connection stream opened for reading.
txClient-connection stream opened for writing.
Note
It is the caller's responsibility to close rx and tx after this function has returned.

◆ initRequestHandler()

int initRequestHandler ( void  )

Initializes the request-handling module.

Note
This function must be invoked after cmdlineInit().
Returns
0 on success, -1 if the command-line arguments are invalid. If a non-recoverable error occurs during initialization (e.g. a failed memory allocation), the function does not return, but instead prints a meaningful error message and terminates the process.
