Minitalk is a simple client-server communication project developed as part of the curriculum at 42 School. The project aims to implement a basic form of inter-process communication (IPC) using signals in Unix-like operating systems.

• Client-Server Communication: Implements a client-server model where the client sends messages to the server using signals.
• Signal Handling: Demonstrates the use of signal handling techniques for communication between processes.
• Message Transmission: Allows the transmission of messages (strings of characters) from the client to the server.
• Error Handling: Includes error handling mechanisms to manage signal transmission and reception errors.
• Acknowledgment: The server acknowledges every message received by sending back a signal to the client.
• Unicode Support: Supports transmission of Unicode characters in messages.
