# tcp-cli

A commandline TCP client written in C with ncurses, the TCP server is just here for testing.

## Dependencies

libncurses-dev

## Usage

You should be able to use the compiler of your choosing.

### Linux

```console

$ clang -lncurses -o client client.c

$ ./client 

```

### Windows

This version is very unstable and barely functional, I believe that WPAPoll might not be functional.

```console

> gcc -o client.exe client_win.c -IC:\path\to\library\PDCurses-3.8 -lpdcurses -lws2_32

> .\client.exe 

```

Write ```exit``` when you are in the application to quit safely.

## Contribute

I went through so many iterations to get to this stage in the code, unfortunately it was a part of a bigger git repository and I had to extract it so there is no version control looking back to it.

Previously, I tried multithreading and forking to get the non-blocking IO eventially I landed on this which might look quite weird. Please feel free to contribute there isn't that much code.
