Compare and contrast IPC using signals and message passing.

What will be an ideal response?


Signals are a simple and efficient way to notify another process than an event has occurred. However, because signals cannot send data, processes are limited by how much information a signal relays to another process. Traditionally, signals are limited to IPC within a single operating system. Message passing allows a process to send data to another process.
