SUBJECT

About

The purpose of this project is to code a small data exchange program using UNIX signals. We must create a communication program in the form of a client and server. The server must be launched first, and after being launched it must display its PID. The client will take as parameters: (Server PID, string that should be sent). The client must communicate the string passed as a parameter to the server. Once the string has been received, the server must display it. The server should be able to receive strings from several clients in a row, without needing to be restarted. We can only use the two signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. We must also add a a small reception acknowledgment system and both client et server should support Unicode (UTF-8)

USAGE

Build with make or make bonus, then:

  • Launch the server with ./server, it will display it's PID
  • Launch the client with ./client <server pid> <message>
  • Enjoy results
