Two processes, a client and server, communicate using shared memory. The server writes the alphabet from a-z to shared memory. The client reads the alphabet from shared memory and converts it to A-Z, writing the updated characters back to shared memory. Code examples demonstrate the client and server accessing and modifying shared memory to pass data between the processes.

Assume that two processes named client and server running in the system. It is required that
these two processes should communicate with each other using shared memory concept. The
server writes alphabets from a..z to the shared memory .the client should read the alphabets
from the shared memory and convert it to A…Z. Write a program to demonstrate the above
mentioned scenario.

CLIENT:
/*
* shm-client - client program to demonstrate shared memory.
*/
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define SHMSZ 27

main()
{
int shmid;
key_t key;
char *shm, *s;

/*
* We need to get the segment named
* "5678", created by the server.
*/
key = 5678;

/*
* Locate the segment.
*/
if ((shmid = shmget(key, SHMSZ, 0666)) < 0) {
perror("shmget");
