What is IPC?

IPC stands for Inter-Process Communication. It is a set of techniques for exchanging data between multiple processes (programs) that are running concurrently, either on the same computer or across a network. Common IPC mechanisms include pipes, message queues, shared memory, semaphores, sockets, and signals. It's used for various purposes, like coordinating tasks, sharing resources, or building modular applications.
