# IPC illustration

## description

- inter-process communication made with:

    - pipes

    - fifos

    - sockets

- this program runs up to three processes:

    - client process

    - server process

    - server's child process 

- C programming language was used

## setup

- run server.c

- run client.c

- write commands in the client process

## signatures of commands

 

- login : argument

- lougout

- get-logged-users

- get-proc-info : argument

- quit

## projects' design

- client sends the command to server

- the server receives it and sends the command to a child process 

- check the requirements 

- send the output of the command back to the client

## valuable points

- fast execution and portability assured with POSIX primitives

- failures are avoided by the constructed error management system

## limitations

- small constants

- support for modest amount of data

## upcoming improvements

- greater constants and more data storage power

- the patch for server.c's username

- better way of shutting down the server

- get-proc-info debug
