🛰️ Minitalk

A simple inter-process communication project using UNIX signals in C.

📌 Project Summary

Minitalk is a project from the 42 curriculum that teaches how to communicate between two processes using UNIX signals. It consists of two programs: server and client.

The client sends a message (string) to the server by encoding characters into bits and sending them using SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. The server decodes these bits and prints the message.

🧠 What I Learned

Through this project, I learned:

• The use of kill() to send signals between processes
• How to encode and decode data bit by bit using SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
• The use of signal() and pause() for asynchronous signal handling
• How to manage multi-part message transmission and detect end-of-message
• Basic inter-process communication (IPC) concepts in a low-level environment
