Lab - IV

In this lab, you will explore the use of pipes for interprocess communication.

Problems:

1. This is the most basic pipe program. A parent process creates a pipe for communication with its child. The parent process takes a txt file name as input from the user and writes the contents of a file, one line at a time, into the pipe. The child process reads the pipe and prints the output on the screen.
2. Implement the above program where the parent reads text input from the user, converts all text into uppercase and writes it to the screen. The child process reads input from standard input and writes the output with line number information to standard output. Now use dup2() to pipe parent output to the child such that the child process outputs line-numbered uppercase text on the screen.
