mqttpp_chat.cpp

// mqttpp_chat.cpp
//
// This is a Paho MQTT C++ client, sample application.
//
// The "chat" application is practically the "Hello World" application for
// messaging systems. This allows a user to type in message to send to a
// "group" while seeing all the messages that the other members of the group
// send.
//
// This application is an MQTT publisher/subscriber using the C++
// asynchronous client interface, employing callbacks to receive messages
// and status updates.
//
// The sample demonstrates:
//  - Connecting to an MQTT server/broker.
//  - Publishing messages.
//  - Subscribing to a topic
//  - Receiving messages (callbacks) through a lambda function
//
// USAGE:
//     mqttpp_chat <user> <group>
