I'm wondering how hard something like this would be to do?
Write a library function called "server_start". Depending on
parameters passed to it, it could either:
Just run, assuming that STDIN/STDOUT were attached correctly.
Run in daemon mode, and fork for every new connection.
Prefork a certain number of connections, and hand control off.
(riskier, but suitable for gopher, whois, http) spawn a new thread or pre/spawn
threads.
The idea is that (file descriptors? library routines?) would be
provided for input and output to make that transparent.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
