In Linux, XSI/System-V IPC mechanisms are outdated?

Is the XSI/System V IPC is outdated since we have POSIX IPC mechanisms available in Linux?

What kind of IPC (Sysv/Posix/other) is recommended for newer programs ?

Solution

  • POSIX for basics and dbus for “convoluted” :) things.

    CORBA, humm, the only executables depending on it for me are libgnome-2.so and libreoffice, which is a whole lot less than dbus.
