A Julia Package for Inter-Process Communication

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 and condition variables. Package InterProcessCommunication.jl intends to provide such facilities.

The statement using InterProcessCommunication exports (among others) a shortcut named IPC to the InterProcessCommunication module. This documentation assumes this shortcut and the prefix IPC. is used in many places instead of the much longer InterProcessCommunication..

The code source of InterProcessCommunication.jl is here.
