MINITALK
how to use :
first launch server :
./server
it will print a line with its own pid, and an empty line below
if you want to terminate the program hit ctrl-c
then in another window launch the client, with two arguments :
./client [SERVER PID] [string]
[SERVER PID] is the pid number printed by the server
[string] is whatever you want to write, surrounded by " if you want to include spaces : "a random phrase"
