Unix Domain Sockets are common to both Mac and Linux. These have been used for many years very successfully on both platforms. Apple used to have a pretty good sample app that makes use of them - may still have, but a search just now doesn’t show it. Perhaps Quinn might have info on its current availability.
The only “problem” with Unix Domain Sockets is that they are one-to-one. As with all socket connections, the first reader gets the packet. If you need something that multiple readers can get, then something else is needed. Otherwise, this is a very good solution to IPC. - Jack Brindle > On Mar 11, 2015, at 11:23 AM, Rick Mann <[email protected]> wrote: > > In this case, my need was to use an SDK from Linux on my Mac so I could do > most of the development on the Mac, but in the end run on the (embedded) > Linux system. > >> On Mar 11, 2015, at 11:09 , Shawn Erickson <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> When I see a quest like this I often found it is better to step back and ask >> what your real need is?
