# What is CLText?

CLText is a CLI messaging service built using Go-Lang. It uses a TCP connection.

The whole application is built upon:-

- client: current user and its connection

- room

- command: from the client to the server

- server: which manages all incoming commands, as well it stores rooms and clients

- TCP server itself to accept network connections

# Commands
