Which functions or system calls will depend upon your application. If
you are sending small messages, message queues may be the best. If
you are sending large amounts of data, shared memory may be the best.

For a good review, get the Richard W. Stevens book, titled something
like _Network Programming in the UNIX Environment_ (sorry, I'm at home
now and my library is in my lab at work). He gives excellent examples
of all IPC and other interprocess communication mechanisms. If you
are going to use threads, I recommend the O'Reilly and Associates book
on Pthreads (again, I don't recall the exact title but that should be
close enough).
