libipc++

libipc++ is a Crossplatfrom IPC Library for C++. It supports Windows and Linux systems and allows for easy use of processes,pipes, semaphores and more. This library was created as part of a student project at the University Of Applied Science Technikum Wien.

Installation

In order to use this library you have to build it first using the CMake build system.

ccmake . 
make 

Usage

After building the shared library simply include libipcpp.h in order to use the whole library or use only a subset by including the respective header file. For example a new process can be started like this:

#include <libipc.h>
#inlcude <stdio>

int main() 
{
   try {
     ipc::Process p("programm.exe", "someArguments");
     p.Wait();
     auto rv = p.ExitCode();
     std::cout << "Exit Code was:" << rv << std::endl;
   } catch(ipc::ProcessException e)
   {
     //ErrorHandling
   }
   return 0;
}
