Programming Assignment 1
Text Chat Application
1. Objectives
Develop the client and server components of a text chat application, consisting of one chat server
and multiple chat clients over TCP connections.
2. Getting Started
2.1 Socket Programming
Beej Socket Guide: http://beej.us/guide/bgnet
2.2 Install the PA1 template
Read the document at https://goo.gl/L2kgb5 in full and install the template.
You should complete this step before reading further.
It is mandatory to use this template.
3. Implementation
3.1 Programming environment
You will write C (or C++) code that compiles under the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
environment. Furthermore, you should ensure that your code compiles and operates correctly on 5
dedicated servers. Read the document at https://goo.gl/L2kgb5 for details on the 5 servers. Your
code should successfully compile using the version of gcc (for C code) or g++ (for C++ code)
found on the 5 dedicated servers and should function correctly when executed.
NOTE: You are NOT allowed to use any external libraries for the socket programming part. You
can however use external modules for other parts of the assignment (like maintaining a linked list).
If you are not sure whether you are allowed to use an external library or not, consult with the
course staff. Further, your implementation should NOT invoke any external binaries (e.g., ifconfig,
nslookup, etc.).
3.2 Sockets
● Use TCP Sockets only for your implementation.
● Use the select() system call only for handling multiple socket connections. Do not use
multi-threading or fork-exec.
3.3 Running your program
Your program will take 2 command line parameters:
1. The first parameter (s/c) indicates whether your program instance should run as a
server or a client.
2. The second parameter (number) is the port number on which your process will listen for
incoming connections. In the rest of the document, this port is referred to as the listening port.
E.g., if your executable is named chat_app:
● To run as a server listening on port 4322
./chat_app s 4322
● To run as a client listening on port 4322
./chat_app c 4322
3.4 Dedicated Servers
For the purpose of this assignment, you should only use (for development and/or testing) the
directory the directory created for you on each of the 5 dedicated servers. Change the access
permission to this directory so that only you are allowed to access the contents of the directory.
This is to prevent others from getting access to your code.
4. Output Format

https://www.google.com/url?q=https://goo.gl/L2kgb5&sa=D&ust=1487130670224000&usg=AFQjCNFwd4zMmubjY_MpEkS3EKmp0EE_sg
We will use automated tests to grade this assignment. The grader, among other things, will also
look at the output generated by your program. Towards this end, ALL the required output (as
described in section 5) generated by your program needs to be written to BOTH stdout and to a
specific logfile. Later sections provide the exact format strings to be used for output, which need
to be strictly followed.
4.1 Print and LOG
We have already provided a convenience function for this purpose in the template (see
src/logger.c and include/logger.h), which writes both to stdout and to the logfile. You should use
ONLY this function, for all output described in this assignment. On the other hand, if you
want to output something more to stdout (for debugging etc.) than what is described, do NOT use
this function and rather use native C/C++ function calls. Any extra output in the log file will
cause the test cases to fail.
To use the function, you will need to have the following statement at the top of your .c/.cpp source
file(s) where you want to use this function:
#include “../include/logger.h”
The function is designed to behave almost exactly as printf. You can use the function as:
cse4589_print_and_log(char* format, …)
Read the comments above the function definition contained in the src/logger.c file, for more
information on the arguments and return value.
5. Detailed Description
The chat application follows a typical client-server model, whereby we will have one server
instance and two or more client instances. Given that we will be testing on the five dedicated
servers listed before, you can assume that at most four clients will be online at any given time.
The clients, when launched, log in to the server, identify themselves, and obtain the list of other
clients that are connected to the server. Clients can either send a unicast message to any one of
the other clients or a broadcast a message to all the other clients.
Note that the clients maintain an active connection only with the server and not with any other
clients. Consequently, all messages exchanged between the clients must flow through the
server. Clients never exchange messages directly with each other.
The server exists to facilitate the exchange of messages between the clients. The server can
exchange control messages with the clients. Among other things, it maintains a list of all clients
that are connected to it, and their related information (IP address, port number, etc.). Further, the
server stores/buffers any messages destined to clients that are not logged-in at the time of
the receipt of the message at the server from the sender, to be delivered at a later time
when the client logs in to the server. You do NOT need to buffer messages for EXITed clients
or from BLOCKed clients (see section 5.6). You can assume that the total number of buffered
messages will not exceed 100.
Your code, when compiled, will produce a single executable file. Depending on what arguments
are passed to this executable (see section 3.3), a client or a server instance should be started.
5.1 Network and SHELL Dual Functionality
When launched (either as server or client), your application should work like a UNIX shell
accepting specific commands (described below), in addition to performing network operations
required for the chat application to work. You will need to use the select() system call which will
allow you to provide a user interface and perform network functions at the same
time (simultaneously).
5.2 SHELL Commands
Your application should accept commands only when they are inputted:
● In UPPER CASE.
● Having exactly the same syntax as described below.
5.3. SHELL Command Output [IMPORTANT]
The first line of output of all the commands should declare whether it was successfully executed
or it failed.
● If the command was successful, use the following format string:
(“[%s:SUCCESS]
”, command_str) //where command_str is the command inputted without its
arguments
● If the command failed with error, use the following format string:
(“[%s:ERROR]
”, command_str) //where command_str is the command inputted without its
arguments
For all such required output, you should only use the special print/log function described in section
4. See section 5.4 (IP command) for an example code snippet.
If the command is successful, it should immediately be followed by its real output (if any) as
described in the sections below. Extra output lines in the log file between the success
message and output will cause test cases to fail.
The last line of the output of all the commands (whether success or failure) should use the
following format string:
(“[%s:END]
”, command_str) //where command_str is the command inputted without its
arguments
For events, printing format/requirements will be the same as for commands. Each of the event’s
description tells the value of the command_str you should use for it.
5.4 Server/Client SHELL Command Description
This set of commands should work irrespective of whether the application is started as a server or
a client.
● AUTHOR
Print a statement using the following format string:
(“I, %s, have read and understood the course academic integrity policy.
”, your_ubit_name)
Your submission will not be graded if the AUTHOR command fails to work.
● IP
Print the IP address of this process. Note that this should not be the localhost address (127.0.0.1),
but the external IP address. Use the following format string:
(“IP:%s
”, ip_addr) //where ip_addr is a null-terminated char array storing IP
Example Code Snippet
To generate the required output for this command, you would need the following lines in your
code:
//Successful
cse4589_print_and_log(“[%s:SUCCESS]
”, command_str);
cse4589_print_and_log(“IP:%s
”, ip_addr);
cse4589_print_and_log(“[%s:END]
”, command_str);
//Error
cse4589_print_and_log(“[%s:ERROR]
”, command_str);
cse4589_print_and_log(“[%s:END]
”, command_str);
Here, command_str and ip_str are char arrays containing “IP” and some valid IP address like
“xxx.xx.xx.xx”, respectively. Any extra output in between the SUCCESS/ERROR and END
output will cause the test cases to fail.
● PORT
Print the port number this process is listening on. Use the following format string:
(“PORT:%d
”, port)
● LIST
Display a numbered list of all the currently logged-in clients. The output should display the
hostname, IP address, and the listening port numbers, sorted by their listening port numbers,
in increasing order. E.g.,
1 stones.cse.buffalo.edu 128.205.36.46 4545
2 embankment.cse.buffalo.edu 128.205.36.35 5000
3 highgate.cse.buffalo.edu 128.205.36.33 5499
4 euston.cse.buffalo.edu 128.205.36.34 5701
Use the following format string:
/*The following printf will print out one host. Repeat this printf statement to
* print all hosts
* list_id: integer item number
* hostname: null-terminated char array containing fully qualified hostname
* ip_addr: null-terminated char array storing IP
* port_num: integer storing listening port num */
(“%-5d%-35s%-20s%-8d
”, list_id, hostname, ip_addr, port_num)
Notes:
➔ LIST output should contain all the currently logged-in clients, including the client that
executed the command.
➔ The server should NOT be included in the output.
If you do not implement the LIST command correctly, most automated tests for other commands
will fail.
5.5 Server SHELL Command/Event Description
This set of commands should work only when the application is started as a server.
● STATISTICS
Display a numbered list of all the clients that have ever logged-in to the server (but have never
executed the EXIT command) and statistics about each one. The output should display the
hostname, #messages-sent, #messages-received, and the current status: logged-in/logged-out
depending on whether the client is currently logged-in or not, sorted by their listening port
numbers, in increasing order. E.g.,
1 stones.cse.buffalo.edu 4 0 logged-in
2 embankment.cse.buffalo.edu 3 67 logged-out
3 highgate.cse.buffalo.edu 7 14 logged-in
4 euston.cse.buffalo.edu 11 23 logged-in
Use the following format string:
/*The following printf will print out one host. Repeat this printf statement to
* print all hosts
* list_id: integer item number
* hostname: null-terminated char array containing fully qualified hostname
* num_msg_sent: integer number of messages sent by the client
* num_msg_rcv: integer number of messages received by the client */
* status: null-terminated char array containing logged-in or logged-out
(“%-5d%-35s%-8d%-8d%-8s
”, list_id, hostname, num_msg_sent, num_msg_rcv, status)
● BLOCKED
Display a numbered list of all the clients (see BLOCK command in section 5.6) blocked by the
client with ip address:
listening port numbers, sorted by their listening port numbers, in increasing order. The output
format should be identical to that of the LIST command.
Exceptions to be handled
➔ Invalid IP address
➔ Valid but incorrect/non-existent IP address
● [EVENT]: Message Relayed
All messages exchanged between clients pass through (are relayed by) the server. In the event of
relay of a message
client with ip address:
(“msg from:%s, to:%s
[msg]:%s
”, from-client-ip, to-client-ip, msg)
In case of a broadcast message,
For the purposes of printing/logging, use command_str: RELAYED
5.6 Client SHELL Command/Event Description
This set of commands should work only when the application is started as a client.
● LOGIN
This command is used by a client to login to the server located at ip address:
on port:
address of the server and the second argument is the listening port of the server.
On successful registration, the server responds with:
1. List of all currently logged-in clients. The client should store this list for later display and use.
2. All the stored/buffered messages for this client in the order they were received at the
server. Each of these messages will trigger an [EVENT]: Message Received, described at the
end of this section.
A client should not accept any other command, except LOGIN, EXIT, IP, PORT, and AUTHOR, or
receive packets, unless it is successfully logged-in to the server.
Notes
➔ You should NOT print the list of clients received as part of the output of the LOGIN
command.
➔ The LOGIN SUCCESS/ERROR message should be printed after all the event related
output (triggered by the buffered messages).
Exceptions to be handled
➔ Invalid IP address/port number (e.g., 127.abc is an invalid IP; 43f is an invalid port).
You can assume that a valid IP/port will always be the actual IP/listening port of the server.
● REFRESH
Get an updated list of currently logged-in clients from the server.
● SEND
Send message:
of 256 bytes and will consist of valid ASCII characters.
Exceptions to be handled
➔ Invalid IP address.
➔ Valid IP address which does not exist in the local copy of the list of logged-in clients
(This list may be outdated. Do not update it as a result of this check).
● BROADCAST
Send message:
and will consist of valid ASCII characters.
This should be a server-assisted broadcast. The sending client should send only one message to
the server, indicating it is a broadcast. The server then forwards/relays this message to all the
currently logged-in clients and stores/buffers the message for the others.
Notes
➔ The client that executes BROADCAST should not receive the same message back.
● BLOCK
Block all incoming messages (unicast and broadcast) from the client with IP address:
relay or store/buffer any messages from a blocked sender destined for the blocking client. The
blocked sender, however, will be unaware about this blocking and should execute the SEND
command without any error.
Exceptions to be handled
➔ Invalid IP address.
➔ Valid IP address which does not exist in the local copy of the list of logged-in clients
(This list may be outdated. Do not update it as a result of this check).
➔ Client with IP address:
● UNBLOCK
Unblock a previously blocked client with IP address:
notify the server about the unblocking.
Exceptions to be handled
➔ Invalid IP address.
➔ Valid IP address which does not exist in the local copy of the list of logged-in clients
(This list may be outdated. Do not update it as a result of this check).
➔ Client with IP address:
● LOGOUT
Logout from the server. However, your application should not exit and continue to accept LOGIN,
EXIT, IP, PORT, and AUTHOR commands. In general, on LOGOUT all state related to this client
is maintained on both the client and the server.
Notes
➔ LOGOUT does NOT reset the statistic counters (see STATISTICS command in section
5.5).
➔ LOGOUT does NOT unblock any clients blocked by this client.
➔ LOGOUT does NOT change the blocked/unblocked status of this client on the server.
● EXIT
Logout from the server (if logged-in) and terminate the application with exit code 0. This should
delete all the state for this client on the server. You can assume that an EXITed client will never
start again.
● [EVENT]: Message Received
In the event of receipt of a message
message using the following format string:
(“msg from:%s
[msg]:%s
”, client-ip, msg)
Note that
the purposes of printing/logging, use command_str: RECEIVED
5.7 BONUS: Peer-to-peer (P2P) file transfer
Implement additional functionality to allow clients to send/receive files. Here, however, the
transfer will take place directly between two clients and will not involve the server. For this,
your implementation should establish a TCP connection between the two clients involved in a file
transfer. The implementation does not need to handle any broadcast file transfers. All transfers will
take place between a pair of clients.
To send a file
SENDFILE
The receiving client should store the file in the same folder as the executable, with the same
name.
Your implementation should be able to transfer both text and binary files. You can assume the
maximum file size to be 10 MB.
6. Grading and Submission
The grading will be done using automated tests. Any deviation from the output format/syntax
described in previous sections will cause the tests to fail. For a detailed breakup of points
