NAME : sockser.C

AUTHOR : Arunkumar Elango
DESCRIPTION :
This file contains the source code for the server. It takes the following command line as input :
$ rpiped [-m maxconnections] [-p portnumber]
It creates and binds a socket at the either the well known portnumber or at the portnumber given in the
commandline. Then, it waits for a connection request from a client. When the request arrives, it forks
a child process that handles the request. The child process first checks if the client has given the
correct password and if it does, processes the request and exits. The parent doesnot fork a child if
there are already maxconnections number of children.
