Simple IPv4 chat on LAN running via UDP broadcast. Each participant has equal rights. Each participant can see the messages of others

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• GCC (or Clang)
• GNU Make

To compile the chat, run:

make

This will generate an executable named ipv4-chat

To start the chat, use:

./ipv4-chat -a `IPv4_ADDR` -p `PORT`

[m] - mandatory flag; [o] - optional flag

• a[m] IPv4_ADDR: set IPv4 address of listening host
• p[m] PORT: set port of listening host
• v[o]: (verbose) debugging information output
• h[o]: (help) output of auxiliary information

The script will launch the chat instance and substitute default values if desired by the user

./run_ipv4_chat.sh
