Lab Practice

This document contains code for a client and server program that communicate over named pipes (FIFOs) to transfer files. The client program creates two FIFOs, connects to one to send a file path to the server, and the other to receive the file contents sent back from the server. The server program creates the same two FIFOs, listens on one for path requests, opens the requested file, reads its contents, and writes it back to the client over the second FIFO.
