 * Write a user-space program `user/src/lab0/pingpong.c` that will use pipes in order to commutate data across two processes, which must be created using fork.
-* The processes should use pipes in order to share the <pid> with each-other. For simplicity, you may assume that the <pid> can fit in one byte, so only a single byte would need to be read from and written to the pipes.
