D-Bus Tutorial
D-Bus is a mechanism for interprocess communication for Linux systems. D-Bus concepts along with example client-server programs are explained.
POSIX Shared Memory in Linux
1.0 Shared Memory Shared memory is an inter process communication (IPC) mechanism in Linux and other UNIX-like systems. Based on input parameters, the kernel provides a (shared) memory segment to…
System V Shared Memory in Linux
1.0 Shared Memory Shared memory is one of the three inter process communication (IPC) mechanisms available under Linux and other Unix-like systems. The other two IPC mechanisms are the message…
POSIX Semaphores in Linux
1.0 Semaphores Semaphores are used for process and thread synchronization. Semaphores are clubbed with message queues and shared memory under the Interprocess Communication (IPC) facilities in Unix-like systems such as…
System V Semaphores in Linux
1.0 Semaphores A semaphore is a mechanism for synchronizing processes and threads. Semaphore, in Unix-like systems, are provided under interprocess communication (IPC) facilities along with message queues and shared memory.…
POSIX message queues in Linux
POSIX message queue calls for interprocess communication (IPC) between processes are explained with an example of server and client programs in C under Linux.
System V message queues in Linux
1.0 Message queues Message queues are one of the interprocess communication mechanisms available under Linux. Message queues, shared memory and semaphores are normally listed as the three interprocess communication mechanisms…
