int UserCmd(unsigned char *Cmd,unsigned char *Response)

{

int i;

sscanf(Cmd,"%d",&i);

if (Cmd[0]) /* Not Null command */

{

strcpy(Response,Cmd); /* echo user's command back */

return 1; /* return OK */

}

return 0; /* return ERROR */

}

To support user

defined command

Analyze user command from

TCP port 10000.

The “19” prefix string is removed

before passing into this function.

Assign response string!

To support user defined commands, all you need to do is simply

modify the UserCmd() function in User.C file.
