IPC Mechanisms
 

some UNIX gurus please tell me how ipc mechanisms, (like message queues and semaphores work) in simple words. i tried reading some of the books, but they were all hazy(to me, of course). so pls don't recommend me any reading material. i wud appreciate if the mechanisms were illustrated using sample programs.

what do you want someone to just post like 5 different programs and break em all down 2 u? already been done!!!!!!!!!!!! what? heard of google?

Right. How about putting some more efforts while reading the books?

why don't u people just control yourself if u don't want to tell? all i asked is a simple explanation. thanks for nothing!
