which is best among pipes, queues, shared memory and why?..

Answer / chetan

shared memory is best because of
-kernal persistancy
-No destructive reading
-just single pointer is enough to do read and write operation
-No size limit for data
-No need worry about broken pipe,blocking,msg structure(msg
que).
-simple to work out,no extra things to keep in mind other
than freeing it by last process.
