How can two different programs communicate?
Author
What are the ways of communication of two separate programs?
I can only think about the next two:
- through a file (probably a slow and ugly method)
- sockets (well... i would avoid this if possible)
Are there any other ways you know?
There are other ways of doing interprocess communication on a local machine. What kind of communication are you talking about? Is there any particular reason you want to avoid sockets?
On Windows alone there are nine different mechanisms for interprocess communication. Expand things to other platforms and you get more.
