Inter-process communication (IPC) is a computing capability that enables different programs and processes on a system to communicate and exchange data with each other. IPC avoids using disk-based files and the associated I/O overhead to pass data, which enables more efficient resource utilization ...
There are 8 namespace types available on Linux: Mount, PID, Time, User, UTS, Cgroup, IPC, and Network. To better understand how this partitioning of resources works, let’s use the PID namespaces as an example. There is one default PID namespace that silently exists on any machine ...
The current Linux Containers platform uses the following kernel features to “enclose” applications and processes in containers: Kernel namespaces (ipc, uts, mount, pid, network and user) AppArmor and SELinux-Profile Seccomp policies Chroots (using pivot_root) Kernel capabilities cgroups (control gr...
Built on top of the RTOS, Linux, and Non-OS, TuyaOS is a distributed and platform-agnostic IoT operating system. Overview With a standard kernel at the core, TuyaOS is designed to tackle the heterogeneity of platforms, systems, and protocols in order to enable quick and reliable integration...
A socket connection is a bidirectional communication pipe that allows two processes to exchange information within a network. What are Linux Sockets Used for The typical sockets use case is theclient-servernetwork interaction model. In this model, the server process socket listens and waits for clie...
Even so, a limitation of pipes for IPC is that the processes using the pipes must have a common parent process. Simply put, they must share a common open or initiation process and exist as the result of a fork system call from a parent process. ...
2.1. Introduction to Linux Signals Signalsare one of the ways that inter-process communication (IPC) takes place in Linux.When a process receives a signal, it stops its normal execution path,and unless it explicitly ignores that particular signal, it goes and executes the respective signal handle...
pipes can be used in network programming tasks such as setting up connections between two computers on a network via a direct connection. using named pipes as an ipc (inter process communication) channel instead of tcp/ip could be considerably faster than transferring large amounts of data via ...
What is KubeLinter? Container and Kubernetes compliance considerations Do banking APIs benefit from cloud technology? How microservices support IT integration in healthcare Kubernetes cluster management Red Hat OpenShift on IBM IT infrastructure Functional safety and continuous certification on Linux ...
Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, ...
