Exercise
Explore event-based concurrency by creating a TCP server that handles requests sequentially and then multiple connections using select(). Learn to incorporate asynchronous I/O system calls and signal handling to manage a simple file cache. This exercise helps you understand the trade-offs and complexity of event-driven, asynchronous server designs.
