[LCP]InterProcess Communication

[Hemant Mohan]

For bidirectional communication you can use open two pipes or FIFOs one for 
either direction. It will be something like this
process1 reads from pipe1 and writes to pipe2
process2 reads from pipe2 and writes to pipe1

The read/write flags need to be set accordingly.

You go through Unix Network Programming (Vol II) by Richard Stevens which 
deals with various IPCs in detail.
