Echo Server

A complete TCP echo server implementation using the loopp event loop library. Demonstrates connection handling, asynchronous I/O operations and graceful shutdown patterns.

Installation

0. Ensure CMake 3.10+ and C++23 compiler are installed.

1. Clone and navigate to the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/nikijaz/loopp.git
   cd loopp/

2. Create a build directory and set up the project:

   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

3. Build the echo server:

   make

4. Run the echo server:

   ./examples/echo-server/echo-server &

5. Connect using telnet or netcat:

   telnet localhost 8080
   # or
   nc localhost 8080
