MicroLink

MicroLink is a project developed as part of the curriculum at 42, a coding school. It is a client-server application that allows two processes to communicate using only signals.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/hovhannisyangevorg/MicroLink.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd MicroLink

3. Compile the server:

make server

4. Compile the client:

make client

Usage

1. Start the server by running the following command:

./server

2. In a separate terminal, run the client with the server's process ID (PID) as the first argument and the message to be sent as the second argument:

./client [server_PID] [message]

For example:

./client 12345 Hello

3. The client process will send the message to the server, which will receive and display it.
4. You can send multiple messages by running the client again with different messages.

Project Structure

The MicroLink project consists of the following files:

• src/server.c: Contains the implementation of the server.
• src/client.c: Contains the implementation of the client.
• src/utils.c: Contains the helper functions for the program.
• Makefile: Contains the build instructions for compiling the server and client.
