C Socket Server Example Code

This C program implements a simple TCP server that listens on port 8080. It accepts incoming connections and sends a 'Hello from server' message to the client every 2 seconds for a total of 1000 times. The server handles socket creation, binding, and listening for connections before sending messages and closing the sockets.
