Question

Name and explain two IPC methods.

Answer 1

Answer.......

• In a shared-memory environment cooperating processes can communicate with each other via an inter process communication.

“ IPC provides a mechanism to allow processes to communicate and to synchronize their actions without sharing the same address space.”

• IPC is particularly useful in a distributed environment where the communicating processes may reside on different computers connected with a network. An example is a chat program used on the World Wide Web.
