Hello,
POSIX C require the main function to return 0. return 0 also end the program.
I uploaded the patch to https://okturing.com/src/25596/body
and inline it here.

I'm never going to understand Unix socket and network code.
It is too verbose.

It is fun to learn and use Plan 9. I'm daily driving Plan 9 on my pi
(not 9front nor 9legacy, it is called Geoff's source). I sometime
remove my sd card and boot linux on usb, but I'm now afraid that
I'm not removing my sd card correctly, so... I rarely boot linux now.
I write this email on my grandfather's computer running windows.
To search the web I use my phone.
