Inter Process communication

Inter-Process Communication,with the techniques and mechanisms that facilitate communication between processes

The IPC mechanisms can be classified into the following categories as given below:

1 .Pipes -> flow of communication between same pipe, data flows only in same direction

2 .FIFOi -:First IN First OUT

3. Shared memory ->different processes to communicate with each other as if these processes shared the virtual address space; hence, any process sharing the memory region can read or write to it.

4. Mapped memory

5. Message queues

6 Sockets
