Sakshi0572/Warehouse-Inventory-Management-Order-Processing-System-Simulation-

C · updated Mar 2026

A classroom-style C project that fakes a warehouse order pipeline using core Linux IPC primitives: fork for process creation, a pipe from a generator to a processor, a FIFO from the processor to a logger, and pthreads with a mutex inside that chain. It's aimed at students or anyone brushing up on Linux systems programming (processes, pipes, FIFOs, threads, signals) rather than anyone who needs an actual inventory system.

Chaining a pipe and a FIFO together across three distinct roles (generator, processor, logger) is a more complete IPC exercise than the usual single-mechanism toy example. It also handles SIGINT explicitly instead of just letting the process die uncleanly, and ships a Makefile so building isn't a guessing game.

store_order.log and what looks like the compiled `warehouse` binary are committed straight into the repo, which means every run dirties git status and the binary will rot the moment someone builds on a different machine. There's no license, no tests, and the README shows zero sample output or log format, so there's no way to tell what 'processed' actually looks like without reading all the .c files. Zero stars, zero forks, and no commit history narrative beyond the one push — this reads as an assignment submission, not a project built for reuse.
