Named Pipes & TCP Socket & UDP Socket

Primary LanguageC

Inter Process Communication [Mini-Project]

Goal: The main goal of the app is the client generate a random number and based on that number the server will return an array with N length. This project was developed in an academic context as a Unix project in order to help us understand interprocess communication better. It implements a client-server communication system that uses :

  • Named pipes
  • TCP sockets
  • UDP sockets. The server processes requests in parallel using fork(), and clients can be launched sequentially or in parallel too.

Getting Started

To use this project, you need to have a Unix-like environment with a C compiler (such as GCC) installed. You can clone the repository to your local machine by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/feriel214/Client-Server-Communcation.git

Project Structure

The project consists of the following files:

  • tube_nomme: The folder contains the implementation using Named pipes
  • socket_udp: The folder contains UDP implementation
  • socket_tcp: The folder contains TCP implementation
  • Makefile: a Makefile to build the project
  • menu.c : The main menu to navigate between the different implementation
  • scriptTcp.sh : contains the commands necessary to launch the mode of TCP communications
  • scriptTnomme.sh : contains the commands necessary to start the communication client-server using named pipes
  • scriptUdp.sh : contains the commands necessary to launch the mode of UDP communications

Building the Project

To build the project, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:

make app

This will compile the project and generate the executable files.

Running the Project

To run the project, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:

make run

This opens a GUI contains the main menu which integrates the different parts of the application we choose the option we want to test by clicking on the appropriate button.
