How armaanusmani/chatroom-server works

chatRoomCpp is a small TCP chat application: a client connects to the server, sends line-oriented input, and displays incoming messages. The server accepts connections into sessions; sessions join a room, relay incoming messages to it, and write broadcasts to other participants. Message provides the server-side encoding and decoding helpers. The README describes asynchronous I/O and threading; the excerpts show asynchronous server socket operations and a client input thread. The graph follows the excerpts and documented capabilities; it does not assume unshown runtime wiring.
