Hi,

Could anybody please convey me what all are the Inter Process Communication techniques that symbian supports. Especially whether it supports FIFO method or not.

Thanks in advance,
Sandy

A FIFO is, strictly speaking a data structure, a queue and not an IPC mechanism. In any case, there is a message queue IPC mechanism in Symbian.
