Create a Forking Server/Client System OVER A NETWORK

• For this, you can use the same server/client source code you had for the pipe based systems. What you’ll need to change is the functions that were in pipe_networking.c/h so that they extablish & use tcp sockets.
• The notes page has been updated with all the socket notes & code snippets from the past few classes.
  • For further reference, I suggest looking at Beej’s Guide to Network Programming.
• For teting purposes, you should use 127.0.0.1 as the server IP adderss, this is the loopback (or localhost) adddress of any computer. You should pick a port that isn’t well established for another service.
