**4. Open new terminal on the same directory again and run the client with pid of server: ** NOT: first you must get pid (proccess id) from the server.

./client pid "Your message"

Example of usage

Requirements

The library is written in C language and needs the gcc compiler and some standard C libraries to run.

Usefull make command
