Julia has already many methods for inter-process communication (IPC): sockets,
semaphores, memory mapped files, etc. You may however want to have Julia
interacts with other processes or threads by means of BSD (System V) IPC or
POSIX shared memory, semaphores, message queues or mutexes, condition variables
and read/write locks. Package `InterProcessCommunication.jl` (*IPC* for short)
intends to provide such facilities.
The `InterProcessCommunication` package provides:
* Two kinds of **shared memory** objects: *named shared memory* which are
identified by their name and old-style (BSD System V) *shared memory
segments* which are identified by a key.
* Two kinds of **semaphores**: *named semaphores* which are identified by their
name and *anonymous semaphores* which are backed by *memory* objects (usually
shared memory) providing the necessary storage.
* Management of **signals** including so called real-time signals.
* Array-like objects stored in shared memory.
* Access to POSIX **mutexes**, **condition variables** and **read/write
locks**. These objects can optionally be stored in shared memory and shared
between processes.
