6// This file describes a single thread, fifo based, chat application.
7//
8// The chat[0] process is supposed to communicate with another chat[1] process through
9// two fifos, identified by the P0P1_FIFO_PATH & P1P0_fifo_PATH arguments.
10//
11// The behaviour depends on the process argument (argc/argv mechanism) :
12// - when this argument is 0 the process is P0 (write P0P1 fifo / read P1P0 fifo).
13// - when this argument is non-zero, the process is P1 (write P1P0 fifo / read P0P1 fifo).
14//
15// - For a P0 process :
16//    1) it creates the P0P1 fifo.
17//    2) it open a write-only file descriptor on this P0P1 fifo.
18//    3) in a waiting loop it open a read-only file descriptor on the P1P0 fifo.
19//    4) it enters the chat loop, starting by a send().
20//
21// - For a P1 process :
22//    1) it creates the P1P0 fifo.
23//    2) it open a write-only file descriptor on this P1P0 fifo.
24//    3) in a waiting loop, it open a read-only file descriptor on the P0P1 fifo.
25//    4) it enters the chat loop, starting by a receive().
26//   
27// Both sides can stop the communication and exit by sending an "exit" string.
