NN_IPC(7)                       nanomsg manual                       NN_IPC(7)


NAME

       nn_ipc - inter-process transport mechanism


SYNOPSIS

       #include <nanomsg/nn.h>

       #include <nanomsg/ipc.h>


DESCRIPTION

       Inter-process transport allows for sending messages between processes
       within a single box. The implementation uses native IPC mechanism
       provided by the local operating system and the IPC addresses are thus
       OS-specific.

       On POSIX-compliant systems, UNIX domain sockets are used and IPC
       addresses are file references. Note that both relative (ipc://test.ipc)
       and absolute (ipc:///tmp/test.ipc) paths may be used. Also note that
       access rights on the IPC files must be set in such a way that the
       appropriate applications can actually use them.

       On Windows, named pipes are used for IPC. IPC address is an arbitrary
       case-insensitive string containing any character except for backslash.
       Internally, address ipc://test means that named pipe \\.\pipe\test will
       be used.


EXAMPLE

           nn_bind (s1, "ipc:///tmp/test.ipc");
           nn_connect (s2, "ipc:///tmp/test.ipc");
