discardd
========

This is a C implementation of the Discard Protocol, described in RFC
863. The point of it is to kill boredness, get back to play a bit with
network programming in C and to tackle how to use `poll(2)` to handle
concurrent clients.

`discardd` will listen on port 9999 if it's run as a normal user, and
on port 9, reserved by IANA for it, if it's run as root.
