# minitalk (42Porto - 42Cursus)
## Grade: 125/100
### Showcase
### Description
2 programs, `server` and `client` that use the UNIX signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 to exchange binary-encoded messsages - Introduction to Inter Process Communication (IPC).
### Installing and running the project
1- Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/Kuninoto/42_minitalk
2- Run `make`
make
3- `make clean` so that you don't keep those object files that you won't need anymore
make clean
4- Run `server`, copy its PID and run `client` with it alongside the message you wish to send.
./server
./client
#### Makefile available targets
`make` or `make all` - Makes `server` and `client`
`make clean` - Deletes all the resulting object files
`make fclean` - Deletes the executables and all the resulting object files
`make re` - `fclean` + `all`
`make bonus` - same as `all`, added for assignment purposes

## Disclaimer
> At [42School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(school)), almost every project must be written in accordance to the "Norm", the schools' coding standard. As a result, the implementation of certain parts may appear strange and for sure had room for improvement.
