"基于Linux平台的socket网络编程聊天工具课程设计"

The course design focuses on the development of a chat tool based on Linux socket network programming. It aims to implement chat functionality within the same local area network. The overall framework consists of a server and client, with IP and port number settings. The two main components, server and client, are compiled and debugged in Linux platform, ensuring the connection between them. The server acts as a relay to facilitate communication between clients. Socket network programming using TCP/IP protocol ensures reliable connections. The project management utilizes popular Linux tools, GCC and makefile, to improve compilation and debugging efficiency, thus accelerating the completion speed of the project. The chat tool designed in this project adopts a command line interface for communication, implementing five main functions: one-on-one chat between users, editing, line breaks, saving and retrieving chat history between users. Through testing, the program has been proven to run reliably and meet the requirements for implementing networking chat in Linux. Keywords: Linux, socket, gedit, server, client, network programming.
