Types of IPC

  • Signals: which are used to indicate that an event has occurred.
  • Shared memory: permits processes to communicate by simply reading and writing to a specified memory location.
  • Pipes: permit sequential communication from one process to a related process.
  • FIFOs: are similar to pipes, except that unrelated processes can communicate because the pipe is given a name in the filesystem.
  • Sockets: support communication between unrelated processes even on different computers
