Everything about Inter-process communication
Sharing of data between running processes in a computer system
In computer science, inter-process communication (IPC) is the sharing of data between running processes in a computer system, or between multiple such systems. Mechanisms for IPC may be provided by an operating system. Applications which use IPC are often categorized as using clients and servers, where the client process requests data and the server process responds to client requests.. Wikipedia →
