Inter Process Communication Overview

Provides idioms and frameworks by which processes can pass requests and data to other running processes.

The APIs in this group are fundamental to EPOC programming. This is particularly so of the high-level classes in the Asynchronous Services API, which are provide the underlying structure of most EPOC applications.

Functionality is provided by a number of APIs. Use them as follows:
