The purpose of this project is to code a small data exchange program using UNIX signals.
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)
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
