hello_world.rs

//! A simple client that opens a TCP stream, writes "hello world\n", and closes
//! the connection.
//!
//! To start a server that this client can talk to on port 6142, you can use this command:
//!
//!     ncat -l 6142
//!
//! And then in another terminal run:
//!
//!     cargo run --example hello_world
