I have been reading the documentation for the Sys V IPC stuff (msg, shm)
and it is not exactly crystal-clear (no kidding!) Could anyone please provide
me (and the net community) with one or several examples of message-passing
between cooperating processes?
Thanks in advance.

I've found Chapter 7 of Marc J. Rochkind's text to be EXCELLENT
and UNDERSTANDABLE on this subject (and the rest of the book is
darn good as well). Cost is about $30.
Once you read that, then try
AT&T 3B2 Computer UNIX(TM) System V Utilities- Volume 2 (305-506 Issue 1)
{These came with our 3b2-400; I'm not sure on how to obtain this
volume separately, nor its cost.} This goes into everything at quite
gory detail, which is more or less understandable after reading Rochkind.

P.S. Just because I'm a contractor at Bell Labs, don't assume I
speak for anyone, or even understand IPC after reading the above.
I just believe that I'm now less confusd,er confuseed, er #@$@#%$%$%^..latham@bsdpkh.UUCP (Ken Latham) (02/11/86)

It contains several examples utilizing EVERY call, and gives very lucid descriptions of how they are used. A posting to the net ( usually from unqualified sources :-> ) would only tend to make IPC more unclear. > Thanks in advance. Your welcome!
