Attachment "echoserv3.tcl" to ticket [718045ffff] added by kenj 2003-04-09 14:34:14.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#  FILE: echoserv2.tcl
#  DESCRIPTION: A simple example of a multi-threaded server.  Accept
#               a client connection, then echo back all lines sent by
#               the client until EOF or until receiving a line with
#               only the string "quit".
#
#               The server starts a separate thread for each client that
#               connects. Communication with the client in each thread
#               continues to be event-driven using fileevent handlers.
