Description
Modify the multi-threaded server (file server.c) such that it is created with a pool of
N threads and a buffer of M ints. The sever validates the argument:
$ ./server
usage: ./server N-threads M-items
When the buffer has reached its full capacity, inputs are ignored until room is available.
In the following scenario, inputs 5 and 6 are lost because the buffer is full:
$ ./server 2 2
*** 2 threads, 2 buffered items
1 2
