Introduction
Welcome to the GCDTelnetServer documentation. Here, you will find detailed information about GCDTelnetServer, a library that allows you to easily implement a Telnet server using Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) in iOS and macOS applications.
Installation
To install GCDTelnetServer, simply add it to your project using one of the following methods:
Using Cocoapods
- Ensure that you have Cocoapods installed on your machine.
- Add GCDTelnetServer to your Podfile:
- Run
pod install
in the terminal.
pod 'GCDTelnetServer'
Manual installation
- Download the latest release of GCDTelnetServer from the GitHub repository.
- Copy the
GCDTelnetServer.swift
file into your project.
Usage
To use GCDTelnetServer in your application, follow these steps:
Step 1: Import GCDTelnetServer
Import the GCDTelnetServer module wherever you want to use it:
import GCDTelnetServer
Step 2: Create an instance of GCDTelnetServer
Create an instance of GCDTelnetServer and set the desired server configuration:
let server = GCDTelnetServer(serverPort: 23)
Step 3: Implement command handling
Add your custom command handling logic by conforming to the GCDTelnetServerDelegate
protocol and implementing the required methods:
extension YourViewController: GCDTelnetServerDelegate {
func telnetServer(_ server: GCDTelnetServer, received command: String, from client: GCDTelnetClient) {
// Handle command received from a client
}
func telnetServer(_ server: GCDTelnetServer, clientDisconnected client: GCDTelnetClient) {
// Handle client disconnection
}
// Implement other optional methods if needed
}
Step 4: Start the server
Start the Telnet server by calling the start()
method:
server.start()
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while using GCDTelnetServer, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
Issue 1: Connection errors
If you are unable to establish a connection to the server, ensure that:
- Your device or simulator is connected to the same network as the client trying to connect.
- The server port is not blocked by any firewalls.
Issue 2: Command handling
If you are experiencing issues with command handling, double-check the implementation of your GCDTelnetServerDelegate
methods and make sure they are correctly handling the commands received from clients.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully implemented a Telnet server using GCDTelnetServer in your iOS or macOS application. Enjoy the power of Telnet communication in your projects.
