/* This is a simple TCP server that listens on port 1234 and provides lists
 * of files to clients, using a protocol defined in file_server.proto.
 *
 * It directly deserializes and serializes messages from network, minimizing
 * memory use.
 * 
 * For flexibility, this example is implemented using posix api.
 * In a real embedded system you would typically use some other kind of
 * a communication and filesystem layer.
