NN_IPC(7)			  nanomsg 1.1.5 		       NN_IPC(7)

NAME
     nn_ipc - inter-process transport mechanism

SYNOPSIS
     #include <nanomsg/nn.h>

     #include <nanomsg/ipc.h>

DESCRIPTION
     Inter-process  transport  allows  for  sending  messages  between processes
     within a single box. The implementation uses native IPC mechanism	provided
     by the local operating system and the IPC addresses are thus OS-specific.

     On  POSIX-compliant systems, UNIX domain sockets are used and IPC addresses
     are file references. Note that both relative (ipc://test.ipc) and	absolute
     (ipc:///tmp/test.ipc)  paths  may	be used. Also note that access rights on
     the IPC files must be set in such a way that the  appropriate  applications
     can actually use them.

     On  Windows,  named  pipes  are  used  for IPC. IPC address is an arbitrary
     case-insensitive string containing any character except for backslash.  In-
     ternally,	address  ipc://test  means that named pipe \\.\pipe\test will be
     used.

EXAMPLE
	 nn_bind (s1, "ipc:///tmp/test.ipc");
	 nn_connect (s2, "ipc:///tmp/test.ipc");
