📦 Installation

Clone the repository from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/okbrandon/minitalk.git

Compile the client executable:

make client

Compile the server executable:

make server

Compile both executables:

make

📝 Usage

Run the server first:

./server

You have to run the server before the client to get the PID.

Then run the client:

./client [PID] [message]

The PID is the one displayed by the server. The message is the message you want to send to the server.

Terminal 1:

$> ./server
    __  ________   _______________    __    __ __
