System V IPC
System V IPC (Inter-Process Communication) refers to a set of tools and standards in Unix-like operating systems that allow different processes (programs running at the same time) to communicate and synchronize with each other. It includes mechanisms such as message queues, semaphores, and shared memory, which enable processes to exchange data and signals. This is essential for complex applications where multiple processes need to work together efficiently, ensuring they can share information and manage tasks without confusion or conflicts.
