IPC

A collection of example programs using inter-process communication (IPC) techniques within a process or between processes on one computer. Examples within a process have an explicit prefix intra_, any programs without this prefix focus on the more general case of communication between threads in different processes on a single host.

List of implemented examples:

1. ipc_signal: Receiver registers a signal handler and loops
2. intra_semaphore: Using unnamed semaphores within a process; not working on MacOS
3. ipc_named_semaphore: Named semaphore to be used between two independent processes
4. ipc_pipe: Unnamed pipe
5. ipc_named_pipe: Named pipe to be used between two independent processes
6. ipc_unix_domain_socket: Using a UNIX domain socket to communicate between processes
7. ipc_zmq: ZMQ pair sockets are used to communicate between two processes
8. intra_zmq: ZMQ pair sockets between threads inside a single process
