To start the server program, execute the following command in the project directory.
python3 -m server <port_number>This starts up a welcoming socket, which listens for client connections
on the specified port_number for incoming connections.
To send and read messages, you must execute the client program using the following command.
python3 -m client <server_address> <port_number> <username> <message_type>Here, server_address is the IP address of the computer in which the server
program is running on, port_number is the port number on which the server
program is listening for incoming connections, username is the name of the
client connecting to the server, and message_type is the type of request to
send to the server. This can be either create to send somebody a message,
or read to receive messages that have been sent to you.
