Networking and Interprocess Communication¶
The modules described in this chapter provide mechanisms for networking and inter-processes communication.
Some modules only work for two processes that are on the same machine, e.g.
signal
and mmap
. Other modules support networking protocols
that two or more processes can use to communicate across machines.
The list of modules described in this chapter is:

— Set handlers for asynchronous eventsmmap
— Memory-mapped file support
