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

rx	Client-connection stream opened for reading.
tx	Client-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.
