Summary
As we conclude this chapter, let’s reflect on the key insights and knowledge we’ve gained about IPC in system programming, especially in the context of Go.
We explored their fundamental role in facilitating data exchange between processes, emphasizing their importance in system-level programming. These pipes have versatile applications, including command-line utilities, data streaming, and inter-process data exchange. We also compared pipes to channels, highlighting differences in usage.
In the following chapter, we’re going to apply the knowledge gained to create automation.
