Creating interrupt handler to remove pipe

[machshev]

Hello,

I'm using a client server example which can be found at:
Client Server example with PIPES ~ Coding Freak

I was hoping if someone could help me understand how to make it so that the pipe PUBLIC is automatically removed when the server gets killed through Ctrl-C. I believe this involves using an interrupt handler but not sure how to do this.

The client is described first (in the article) followed by the server. When ready to launch, I first start the server in the background by using ./server & followed by running the client. The CMD prompt allows the user to type anything and it goes through the server. As of now, when Ctrl-C is used it kills the client but the server is still running with the PUBLIC pipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

You can trap the Ctrl+C and handle it with your own way...
But the thing is when you hit Ctrl+C to client program it's quite difficult to provide this interrupt to server..
I mean, Ideally both programs are supposed to run on different machine..
In your case both are running on same machine, so this will help here.
Are you sure about this?
