Hi I started reading IPC mechanism in Linux.
I know that there is no synchronizaion technique needed for pipes, but when it comes to named pipes where unrelated process can communicate with each other.
Question. Does any schronization technique is needed in FIFO/named pipe or it works the same way like pipes do ?
Please let me know.
A pipe is a pipe - consider it a FIFO (First In, First Out) queue. There are other IPC mechanisms for Linux/Unix such as Posix queues, etc. Is there something you need to accomplish in particular?
