TCP Socket inside Qt

[KC5-BP]

Add a simple socket exchange management through the GUI and another program (stored in the "cli" directory)

• Socket management
  • Define a simple protocol, something like:
  • CONNECT (CLI -> GUI) -> ACK_AND_WAITING_DATAS (GUI -> CLI)
  • DATA (CLI -> GUI) -> ACK (GUI -> CLI)
    • Format to something like: \<ROUTING_VAR_DATA>N\<NUMBERS_OF_DATA>C\<RGB[W]>! ROUTING_VAR_DATA: 8bits N: 16bits C: 32bits (8b: Red, 8b: Green, 8b: Blue[, 8b: White])
  • DISCONNECT (both direction to manage, CLI disconnect OR GUI killed)
  • ASK_FOR_STATUS (CLI -> GUI)
    • Possible response: WAITING_DATAS, ERROR
  • ERROR (GUI -> CLI)

Sub-step 1: Create a server's socket with custom IP & Port

Sub-step 2: Create a client that connect to the said server

Sub-step 4: Implement protocol
