At this moment, it seems unused , see texmf-dist/doc/web2c/web2c.pdf: 5.6 IPC and TEX (If anyone uses this feature and needs documentation, write [email protected].) This functionality is available only if the ‘--enable-ipc’ option was specified to configure during installation of Web2c (see Chapter 2 [Installation], page 2). If you define IPC_DEBUG before compilation (e.g., with ‘make XCFLAGS=-DIPC_DEBUG’), TEX will print messages to standard error about its socket operations. This may be helpful if you are, well, debugging. Of course, you can compile your own version of luatex , enable ipc and test if it works for you. -- luigi
