The goal of this project is to create a communication system that utilizes Unix signals for inter-process communication. This involves implementing mechanisms to send and receive signals between processes, allowing them to coordinate and exchange information effectively.
The function is written in C language and thus needs the gcc compiler and some standard C libraries to run.
1. Compiling
To compile, go to the project path and run:
$ makeTo test the program you just need to launch the "server" and the "client" in different shell tabs with the following:
$ ./serverThis will show your PID to make the client work and will stay waiting to receive a message from the "client"
$ ./client "PID" "Your message string"By launching it, this will show "Your message string" on the server window.
To compile, go to the project path and run:
$ make bonusThe bonus functionality operates similarly to the mandatory features, with the key difference being that the client confirms the receipt of messages sent by the server.
$ ./server_bonus$ ./client_bonus "PID" "Your message string"
