There's not one that ships with Spread, but it's simple enough to write.
Here's a short one:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include <unistd.h>
#include "string.h"
#include "sp.h"
void usage(char *s)
{
fprintf(stderr, "%s -g <group> -s server\n", s);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *server = 0;
char *group = 0;
char line[1024];
char privatename[MAX_GROUP_NAME];
char privategroup[MAX_GROUP_NAME];
int retval;
int getoption;
mailbox mbox;
while((getoption = getopt(argc, argv, "g:s:h:")) != -1) {
switch(getoption)
{
case 'g':
group = optarg;
break;
case 's':
server = optarg;
break;
default:
usage(argv[0]);
return -1;
break;
}
}
if( group == 0 || server == 0) {
usage(argv[0]);
return -1;
}
snprintf(privatename, MAX_GROUP_NAME, "sp_client_%d", getpid());
if((retval = SP_connect(server, privatename, 0, 0, &mbox, privategroup))
<
0 )
{
SP_error(retval);
return -1;
}
while(fgets(line, 1024, stdin)) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s", line);
if((retval = SP_multicast( mbox, RELIABLE_MESS, group, 1,
strlen(line),
line)) < 0)
{
SP_error(retval);
return -1;
}
}
}
name it sp_client.c and compile it with
gcc -c sp_client.c
gcc -o sp_client sp_client.o -lsp
