# ipcd
|
|
|
|
A userspace daemon for interprocess communication.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
See the `examples` folder.
|
|
|
|
Simply open `chan:<name>` with O_CREAT where `<name>` is any name you'd like to create a listener.
|
|
This listener can accept clients by calling `dup("listen")`.
|
|
|
|
Open `chan:<name>` without O_CREAT to connect. Now you can read and write between both streams.
