Prints its id and "id num: Sending , bytes "

Sends the size of the file as a uint32_t integer to the client (in network endian)

Sends the bytes of the file to the client. It should send the file in buffers of bytes of size BUFFER_LEN.

close()s what it should close.

returns NULL.

Sample output:

To properly test this program I made a directory called Dir:

$ mkdir Dir 

I also made a file that I did have permission to read called holdYourHeadUp.txt, and one that I did not called youCantOpenMe.txt. The contents of the second file can be whatever you want, but to make it so you cannot open it say:

$ touch youCantOpenMe.txt  $ chmod a-rwx youCantOpenMe.txt  

My directory now has:

$ ls 20167-3Spr_CSC374-Assign4.html holdYourHeadUp.txt client server client_getFileByFirstLetter.c server_getFileByFirstLetter.c Dir youCantOpenMe.txt getFileByFirstLetter.h
