Hello all,
I'm working on multiple platforms using pthreads and deciding on
a message transfer mechanism for each platforms internal transfers
- either posix message queues or unix IPC.
Can someone tell me the main differences between Posix Message Queues and
Unix IPC message transfers using msgget(), msgsnd(), msgrcv() ?
Also, does Linux 2.x support posix message queues ? I cant seem to find mq_open,
mq_send, etc.. on my Linux 2.4 box. Is this a Linux add-on I need to download off the net?
Thanks,
Phil
