What methods do processes interact with in the operating system?

Answer from AI
Processes in the operating system interact with each other using various inter-process communication (IPC) methods:
- Pipes — allow sequential data transfer between processes, usually related.
- Sockets — enable data exchange between processes, both on the same computer and over a network.
- Shared memory — allocates a memory area accessible by multiple processes for fast data transfer.
- Semaphores — used for synchronizing access to shared resources.
- Message queues — allow processes to exchange structured messages.
In Go, channels are commonly used for interaction between goroutines, providing safe data transfer and synchronization.
Example of using a channel in Go:
ch := make(chan string)
go func() {
ch <- "Hello from goroutine"
}()
msg := <-ch
fmt.Println(msg)
