Summary
In this chapter, we touched on various IPC mechanisms offered by the kernel. We explored the layout and relationship between various data structures for each mechanism, and also looked at both SysV and POSIX IPC mechanisms.
In the next chapter, we will take this discussion further into locking and kernel-synchronization mechanisms.
