Simple TCP pre-forked server

Example implementation of a TCP preforked server with only the parent process calling accept and "passing" the connected socket to a free child worker.

The server is wrapped in shared object lib (libtcp_server.so.1.0.0) exporting the class & public methods making it easier to integrate with external application software.

Project documentation can be found here

Getting Started

1. Build

$ git clone https://github.com/IlievIliya92/tcp_server.git
$ cd tcp_server
$ source configure
$ run_cmake build

2. Test the server

$ start_tcp_server_selftest

You should see similar output to the one below:

Running tcp_server test 'tcp_server'...
