Interprocess communication allows one process to send or receive a message to or from another process. Normally, in Unix, processes are in a separate address space and cannot exchange information. With interprocess communication, they are allowed to exchange information to each other.

What is the difference between Linux and Windows in terms of interprocess communication?
They have different models of interprocess communication. In Windows, processes generally communicate to each other by sending "messages". These messages can carry some data. In Linux processes can communicate in a number of ways: * Sending Signals to each other (used for simple signalling, the signals do not carry data). * Using files and network sockets, which allows two-way communication between processes, but involves more programming overhead. * Other IPC (interprocess communication) methods such as System-V message queues, semaphores, and shared memory.
What is an anonymous pipe?
An anonymous pipe, in computing, is a first-in first-out communication channel which may be used for one-way interprocess communicaion.
What has the author Mehmet Bor written?
Mehmet Bor has written: 'Effective interprocess communication (IPC) in a real-time transputer network'
What communication protocols does a Unix system rely on?
Tcp/Ip
How do you perform communication in UNIX?
You don't indicate what you mean by "communication". Since there are many different answers your question needs to be more specific.
In Unix inter process communication take place using?
pipes - nammed and unnammed
What is interprocess synchronization?
Processes might need to communicate to each. Interprocess of synchronization is the?æ management of resource among process. It ensures only a single thread (process) access a resource at a particular time.
What is InterProcessCommunication?
When the two or more process run simultaneously at same time, the systems allocate the resources to both the process, so that both the process can run unitteruptly, this phenomenon is called Interprocess Communication.
Is it true that the cooperating processes do not require interprocess communication?
No. If cooporating processes are to actually cooporate with each other, there must be some kind of inter-processing communication between them so they know when to wait for the other process to complete some task that is needed by the first process.
What is VxWorks?
vxworks is used to control network and communication devices. vxworks is similar to unix but it uses less processing power than unix.
List the known facilities for interprocess communication in Linux?
SystemV IPC covers: messages (msgctl, msgget, msgrcv, msgsnd), semaphores (semctl, semget, semop) and shared memories (shmat, shmctl, shmdt, shmget)
Can different functions of an HLL program be called a process?
Typically, all functions in any program constitute a single process. Multiple processes can communicate via Interprocess Communication (IPC), but are usually regarded as separate programs.
