Operating systems using pipe() and fork()

Both programs should have three distinct layers: physical, data link and application. The physical layer should contain routines to handle tasks such as converting a character into a binary bit pattern, calculating and including a parity bit, and writing bits into an output file (i.e., transmission of bits). It should also include routines for reading bits from a file (i.e., reception of bits) and converting bits into characters. The data link layer should contain routines for framing (putting two SYN characters, a LENGTH character, and data into a frame) and deframing (separating those control characters from data characters). The application layer should contain routines to handle tasks such as reading data to be transmitted from input data file in the Producer and writing received data into display (or output data file) in the Consumer, as well as any other routines that you feel necessary. Your solution must also include a module to simulate transmission errors.
