[comp.std.internat] IPC Calls in X/Open PG3

bergmann@psise.UUCP (Eberhard Bergmann) (07/11/89)

=====================================================

We have ordered but not yet received the first
three volumes of PG3 of the X/Open Portability
Guide. We would like to have the following
question answered:

Is Interprocess Communication IPC contained
and if so, which kinds of IPC have been selected?

Many thanks four your efforts.

Please, answer via email:         bergmann@psise.uucp

System V IPC (message queues, shared memory, and semaphores) are still
optional functionality in XPG3, as they were in XPG2.  However, even
if an implementation does not support the functionality, the headers
and interfaces must still be present.
