To run the server, type:
$ cargo run --release --bin server -- localhost:8088
To run the client, type:
$ cargo run --release --bin client -- localhost:8088
The client supports only two commands:
-
join group- Join the group named group. If that group does not exist, it is created. The name of the group must not contain any spaces. -
post group message- Post message to the chat group named group. The group name must not contain any spaces, but the message can.
There is no command to leave a group. There is no concept of a user name. To exit the client, hit ctrl-D on Linux or macOS, or ctrl-Z on Windows.
An example client session:
$ cargo run --release --bin client -- localhost:8088
Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.04s
Running `/home/jimb/rust/book/tests/chapters/asynchronous/target/release/client 'localhost:8088'`

post GROUP MESSAGE...
Type Control-D (on Unix) or Control-Z (on Windows) to close the connection.
