Inter-Process Communication
Inter-Process Communication (IPC) refers to the set of techniques and mechanisms that enable different processes in a computing system to communicate and share data with each other. IPC is essential for processes running on the same machine or different machines to exchange information and coordinate their actions. It plays a crucial role in multitasking operating systems, distributed systems, and various software applications, allowing processes to work together, share resources, and synchronize their activities.
