Objective

The objective for this lab is to model the following scenario as a producer-consumer: A NASA spacecraft antenna controller needs the signal from two antennas at the same time.

Directory Structure

The directory structure used herein to manage documents and files is as follows:

At the top level, files describing the project meant for users to read: README.md. The only other files that would be expected here is a .gitignore file, listing files and/or folders which Git should ignore and a .git file, containing git metadata. There are two subdirectories of this structure: /doc and /src

The /doc directory shall contain all information material for documenting the project.

All source code and answers related to this project is located in the /src subdirectory.

How To Compile & Run

1. Using a Linux VM, navigate to the /src subdirectory via the terminal
2. Enter the following command to compile the program make
   or
   sudo make
3. Enter the following command to execute the program
   ./lab5.o

Dependancies

1. A Linux-based virtual machine OR
2. A Linux-based machine (Note: This should be reserved for advanced users)

Warnings

• Although the dependencies call for the use of a virual machine, you may use a local Linux OS to compile & execute this code. This should be reserved for advanced users
