What Is the SVID IPC Library?

The SVID IPC library contains a set of C/iX library functions that provides interprocess communication services to applications requiring information exchange and resource synchronization between multiple processes.

These C/iX library functions emulate the behavior of a set of interprocess communication and synchronization functions defined by the AT&T System V Interface Definition (SVID2). For this reason, the set of IPC functions provided in the MPE/iX Developer's Kit is referred to as "SVID IPC."

Refer to Chapter 2 “SVID IPC Library Function Descriptions” for a complete description of the functions available in the SVID IPC library.
