The Linux IPC (Inter-process communication) facilities provide a method for
|
|
multiple processes to communicate with one another. There are several
|
|
methods of IPC available to Linux C programmers:
|
|
<UL><LI> Half-duplex UNIX pipes<LI> FIFOs (named pipes)<LI> SYSV style message queues<LI> SYSV style semaphore sets<LI> SYSV style shared memory segments<LI> Networking sockets (Berkeley style) (not covered in this paper)<LI> Full-duplex pipes (STREAMS pipes) (not covered in this paper)
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
These facilities, when used effectively, provide a solid framework for
|
|
client/server development on any UNIX system (including Linux).
