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

Getting Started

Run the following commands:

Compiling

Run the following commands:

• To compile

  $ make

• To remove objects:

  $ make clean

• To remove objects and binary file (program):

  $ make fclean

• To re-compile:

  $ make re

Usage

To test the program you just need to launch the "server" and the "client" in different shell tabs with the following:

$ ./server

This will display your PID, which is necessary for the client to function, and will remain in a listening state to receive a message from the "client."

$ ./client "PID" "Your message string"
