You might want to pick up _Advanced_Unix_Programming_ by Marc J. Rochkind.
It includes two sections of specific interest:
	1) Basic Interprocess Communication
	2) Advanced Interprocess Communication

and covers pipes, named pipes, semaphores, and shared memory. It is rather
specific towards Sys V and Xenix, but portability is discussed.
