85 It discusses the overall model for interprocess communication
86 and introduces the interprocess communication primitives
87 which have been added to the system. The majority of the
88 document considers the use of these primitives in developing
89 applications. The reader is expected to be familiar with
90 the C programming language as all examples are written in C.
