The purpose of this project is to code a small data exchange program using UNIX signals.
• You must create a communication program in the form of a client and server.
• The server must be launched first, and after being launched it must display its PID.
• The client will take as parameters:
◦ The server PID.
◦ The string that should be sent.
• The client must communicate the string passed as a parameter to the server.
Once the string has been received, the server must display it.
• Communication between your programs should ONLY be done using UNIX signals.
• The server must be able to display the string pretty quickly. By quickly we mean that if you think it is too long,
then it is probably too long (hint: 1 second for 100 characters is COLOSSAL)
• Your server should be able to receive strings from several clients in a row, without needing to be restarted.
• You can only use the two signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
• The server confirms every signal received by sending a signal to the client.
• Support Unicode characters!

🚧 Cloning:
git clone https://github.com/alezamarion/42-minitalk.git && cd 42-minitalk
make
🚧 Compiling:
First you launch server:
$ ./server
Server will print its PID and wait
So you use the client to send string or unicode characters to the server
$ ./client PID_SERVER STRING
