/**
 * Client disconnect handling
 * --------------------------
 * This example shows you how to handle a client disconnect, e.g., if the server
 * is shut down while the client is connected. You just need to call connect
 * again and the client will automatically reconnect.
 *
 * This example is very similar to the tutorial_client_firststeps.c. */
