3 Implement A Distributed Chat Server Using TCP Sockets in C'

This document provides code for implementing a distributed chat server using TCP sockets in C. It defines functions for reading from clients and the main function, which creates a socket, listens for connections, and uses select to monitor for data from multiple clients. When data is received, it calls the read function and prints the message, or closes the socket if read fails. New connections are accepted and added to the active socket set to be monitored by select.
