Communication between processes is valuable in a multitasking operating system to enable concurrent processes to work together. Pipes are one of three forms of interprocess communication (IPC), the other forms of IPC being semaphores and queues.
This chapter describes how to create, manage, and use pipes. Pipes enable two or more processes to communicate as if they were reading from and writing to a file.
The following topics are related to the information in this chapter:
- Memory (shared memory)
