Message-ID: <446@fdmetd.uucp> Date: 16 Jun 89 08:16:54 GMT Followup-To: comp.unix.questions Organization: Fellesdata a.s, Oslo, Norway Lines: 17 I'm currently writing an application which consists of a server and several clients. What is the best method to use for IPC ?. Should I use message queues, shared memory and semaphores or should I use FIFO's ? The requirements are speed and serialization. Please E-mail any answers, I will post a summary if there is any interest for this question. -- Steinar Overbeck Cook, Fellesdata a.s, P.O.
