NAME

6       nn_ipc - inter-process transport mechanism

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       Inter-process transport allows for sending messages between processes
15       within a single box. The implementation uses native IPC mechanism
16       provided by the local operating system and the IPC addresses are thus
17       OS-specific.
18
19       On POSIX-compliant systems, UNIX domain sockets are used and IPC
20       addresses are file references. Note that both relative (ipc://test.ipc)
21       and absolute (ipc:///tmp/test.ipc) paths may be used. Also note that
22       access rights on the IPC files must be set in such a way that the
23       appropriate applications can actually use them.
24
25       On Windows, named pipes are used for IPC. IPC address is an arbitrary
26       case-insensitive string containing any character except for backslash.
27       Internally, address ipc://test means that named pipe \.\pipe\test will
28       be used.
